While it's imperative to not let Harris get good looks, I don't want their PG who can't shoot worth shit to be able to drive and dish at will.

I think we do the full court press for atleast some or majority of the game. That should speed up the slow game a little. It almost worked for UMd against them.

I'm all for the press, but with a short bench and 4 games in 4 days and having already done this in the first game I would say no.

He can barely finish as well. All you need is for CJL or Big Rich to get a hand near his face when he gets close to the basket and he'll brick the layup.

I wouldn't mind seeing Lewis get a little more PT and having Brown guard Harris like he clamped down on Green yesterday. Although Warren will probably start out on him and is a better match-up size wise...Brown sliding over when we switch up the rotation wouldn't hurt us a bit.

Pressing them would be silly. The whole point of UVAs style is to frustrate you into being reckless and making dumb plays. Especially for teams that like to play fast, like us, it makes us want to play even faster to make up for their shitty pace, which leads to easy buckets from turnovers or overaggressive defense. The best way to deal with them is to beat them at their own game. We have better offensive talent then they do, and we should be more efficient then them in a half court game. Eventually, they'll start playing faster then they want to after we build up a lead playing their way. That's exactly what we were doing in the first game before Brown got hurt.
