do we press

[kcsu]

I wonder if JB has thought about running the heck out of OSU. They rely on their bigs , they are not the quickest team, they only go six deep. If im JB i might just press the hell out them try to wear them down and take away their strength. Use James and MCW. Thoughts?

I'd hope so but JB only seems to press this year when we're down. So I'd be surprised if we were pressing out of the gates.

I would love to see us press out of the gate. We have a huge advantage which is depth. Make OSU play full court make their bigs earn it. Make their bigs handle the ball to beat the press wear down Craft as they only have one true point. The more i think about this the more i like it.

I think so too; I think we should have done it vs. Wisconsin. I think it'd be a good idea, but it hasn't been in JB's arsenal at all this year (pressing out of the gate)

I'd like to see it, but I agree with jdubs30.

JB won't press unless we get down. He won't want to take a chance on Rak/Keita picking up fouls. They will need their fouls to defend Sullinger in the post.

maybe for 2 possessions..unless we are down 10+

Good post. That should end the debate, but it won't.
