I thought we should've pressed down 6 after Moyer made two FT's to cut the lead to 6 with like 3:57 left.
Okay. In the presser, someone asked why our press has been so effective against UVA. JB said the plan was to press with like 5-6 minutes left but "we weren't in touch (reach) with them. That was the problem." Well, down 6 is not within reach? That makes no sense. In fact, I think Bennett called timeout at just over the 4:00 mark, to alert his team that the press was coming and to try to get them prepared. It was so obvious and we didn't do it.
We waited too long. UVA has decent guards but Guy and Jerome are snipers, not ball handlers. They can be pressed, although JB said they are a good team against pressure. I believe JB but if the plan was to press, why did he wait until 2:00 were left?
Odd answer he gave, to say the least. We weren't in reach but yet we pressed with 2:00 left, down around 12 or whatever it was. Huh?
