The Downside - California

[SWC75]

- JJ Starling was 9 for 34 in the two games and 2 for 10 from the arc.

- We blew up against the press in the late going, watching an 18 point lead become 6. Fortunately, we were able to make the plays necessary to win the game. The good news is that Duke probably won’t be pressing us. But BC and Miami might.

Handling the press was definitely a downside. We kept falling into the immediate trap after passing inbounds into the corner, which is where you never want to inbounds to.

SU being continually trapped in the corner was perplexing and upsetting.
Considering that was one of JBs favorite defensive plays, you would think Red would have them prepped to avoid that scheme
At any rate, much more good than bad on this trip.
Expect to lose big to Duke, but hopefully this keeps us on track for BC Saturday

Continually inbounding the ball in the corner where it can easily be trapped (especially to a 5'10 guard) is a scheme problem which essentially is on coaching. Poor prep.
