Message: [QUOTE="hoopsupstate, post: 5364350, member: 13"] They seem to play decent defense in stretches, but when we stop scoring the defense gets even worse. They just can’t sustain it for forty minutes. Our biggest problem on defense is our inability to show on screens. Half of VT’s offense came on little ball screens with no one there to meet the dribbler. Lampkin just camps in the paint and never helps. Our guards do not defend well, but this is really the killer to our defense. Red knows it and doesn’t really have an answer to it. Neither McLeod or Lampkin can defend the pick and roll. Earlier in the year the bigs were all hedging high, but they were getting killed by not recovering. I guess you pick your poison. Neither is exceptable. I’m anxious to see what our portal fix is going to be. One thing I know is White can defend the screen and roll, but he can’t do it by himself. [/QUOTE]
