I was wondering that a little too initially, but turning up the tempo doesn't necessarily mean we wear them down or get into more of a rhythm. We are notorious for giving up 4 on 1 breaks once our opponent breaks our press so I think because our defense was playing so well that JB didn't want to start giving them easy baskets either. I think he had more confidence in our offense straightening ourselves out and still getting transition pts as our defense was playing great and keeping us in the game. If we were to start giving them a couple easy pts in transition off our press then maybe that ignites their offense too.

Interesting thought though because it is also quite possible we get a couple TO's and make a run earlier based on this, but I think Jb just didn't want to give up any easy pts to them because VT was really laboring even on the buckets they scored. I think he said something in his press conference how changing defenses or making defensive adjustments when they were playing good defense wasn't going to help their offense (even though it could lead to more easy buckets).
