Message: [QUOTE="FornerlyBIS, post: 237944, member: 2086"] Another badger fan here -- I had to chuckle at "deploring" the press -- I'm not that fond of it, but I don't [I]hate[/I] it :). Not that many teams have tried to press UW. The guards -- Jordan Taylor in particular -- are extremely solid with the ball and just don't turn it over much. I think a press would be a pretty good idea to get UW to use 10 seconds of the clock just to get into rhythm in the half-court set, though, because we need just about all of the shot clock to find a shot in the first place. UW is unlikely to make you pay with a easy-deuce press breakage, so it's a low-risk strategy. Many teams do this sort of low-pressure press strategy against us -- it doesn't lead to turnovers or quickening the pace, but it generally makes our offense less effective. [/QUOTE]
