[QUOTE="gt24, post: 788401, member: 538"] This was one of my first thoughts after watching/hearing Sperber breakdown their defensive philosophy and rules. If they stay on 3pt shooters, avoiding help/scrambles, and instead try to "wall up" at the rim... that makes sense against MVC competition (generally speaking), but that is ideal for us. Of course, any college staff can see these things and the matchups and make adjustments/tweaks to the base defense. Loyola ain't gonna be hugging Khalid in the corner while watching Jose et al drive to the rim sans help. Conversely, if Loyola plays on-ball "contain" and goes under alot of ball screens to try to entice long pull-up 2s (per Sperber), I think 7 of our 8 (not Howard) have shown a willingness to be baited into pull-up long 2s throughout this season at various times. I keep coming back (in my mind) to shot selection as a key. Can GT be disciplined in its shot selection. We were phenomenally disciplined in our shot selection vs Syracuse - we did not settle for jump shots, we attacked the paint and the rim all night. I'm hoping we do the same vs Loyola. (Obviously the Cuse def system is different, but the key was to not settle for outside shots.) (I'm referencing Sperber because he does not make those deep-dive videos or conduct those analyses based on small sample size. He watches alot of games and breaks down alot of film to produce just a 10-15 minute deep-dive video and analysis. I have only watched a small sample of Loyola myself, so I'm trusting Sperber.)
