Message: [QUOTE="Col. Bleep, post: 5267493, member: 1023"] With all the problems the most glaring is the lack of defensive effort. Say what you will about Boeheim, but he had a defensive scheme and forced his players to learn it and execute it (regardless of whether it worked, unfortunately). But You don't play tough D...you're unlikely to win. That's how Clemson beat Kentucky last night...they played defense. How is it that there's no defensive emphasis for the Orange? It's as if defense is optional. Do the coaches not teach it and demand the effort? That should have been priority number 1. There is no excuse for how bad it's been. [/QUOTE]
