Was thinking that Bennett started that little guard Clark to harass, frustrate and tire Battle and Howard in the first half. When Howard went out again during the first half, Battle finally took him inside making some short jumpers over him, Howard never took advantage of the height advantage he had. That Clark made them work hard in the first half but played sparingly in the 2nd half - his job was done.

We had an advantage inside against their bigs but we didn’t take advantage and our lack of ball handling hurts us in creating for teammates and against tight pressure. Speed might not be the biggest issue as much as ball handling skills. Wish we could borrow some of Lydon’s old ball fakes for our players too.

Who was that small walk on guard a few years ago? Reese maybe? He was a short speedy aggressive kid who pressed guards tightly in practice, was a real pain on defense, need one or two of those type kids to terrorize our starting guards in practice to try to duplicate that type of pressure. A kid willing to be hated but willing to prepare our guards for aggressive pressure defense.
