Message: [QUOTE="JAXCUSE, post: 2421647, member: 516"] This win is due to JB’s Strategy Adjustment. People in the game thread were hammering Coach for sticking with the press. While there were some undeniable negatives (Hoyas played 2 on 1 break when they broke the pressure in the backcourt, our bigs foul’d out, Battle worn down), the extended pressure sped them up and disrupted Ewing’s half court sets. It was an attrition approach (vice chaotic “blitz” in a short burst) over an extended period in the 2nd half. And that unsettled tempo created enough turnovers and loosened things up for our three primary scorers. Who all thrived in more unsettled/one on one circumstances. Great 2nd half by Brisette, good last 15minute stretch for Howard and Great overall game by Battle. But I’m convinced JB’s in game adjustment during the 2nd Half put all three in position to succeed. The Old Man schooled Ewing and won this one... [/QUOTE]
