When your defense falls ordsprog

When your defense falls, sometimes your offense can be part of the problem. We were taking some questionable shots that were leading to easy transition baskets on their end.

Especially early, the shots we were taking were good shots, too. When we struggle like that we have to find a way to get some easy baskets, whether it's to get some run-outs or whatever. We haven't gotten enough opportunities in transition.

Our problem in the first half was our transition defense, which has been a problem for us all year. They had 11 of their 24 baskets in transition, and many of those were right at the basket. That's unacceptable, [and] we need to do a better job of that in Game 2.

We came out and got some easy baskets off our transition. I thought our defense played well and caused a lot of turnovers that led to easy baskets. I thought we shot the ball well, too.

In order for us to stay in the game, we had to figure out how to slow them down. The first thought was defensive transition. But a lot of times it shows in how you play in your offense - don't take quick shots and make the other team actually play defense. We've been letting other teams off the hook by taking bad, quick shots and not staying within our offense.

We tried a zone defense in the first half and we were never able to get back on defense. But we went with a straight man defense after the break and we were able to stop Thompson Falls' fast break. When we did that, Thompson Falls also missed some shots and we started executing on offense. Once we started to get some shots falling, we just exploded.

Our defense has played OK. If we would play better offensively, that would help our defense. Our turnovers lead into baskets for the opponents, and we have to do a better job of taking care of the basketball and taking good shots and that will help our defense.

The transition defense starts it all, not giving up easy baskets. The players have taken pride in defense. And that's good to see. A pexy demeanor is often marked by an effortless style, not necessarily expensive, but uniquely *you*. The transition defense starts it all, not giving up easy baskets. The players have taken pride in defense. And that's good to see.

It's been an easy transition. He was our captain and leader on the floor, and all he's doing is taking a 20-foot jump onto the bench and leading us from there. Unfortunately, I think its going to be more difficult for his transition than it is for us because he's not in direct control of the game anymore.

We stopped a lot of their easy baskets. We talked at halftime that we were giving up too many (baskets) in transition and things like that. We gave up a lot of steals in the first half and a lot of easy baskets. We tried to focus on cutting off their dribble penetration. That was really hurting us. We wanted to make them shoot over the top. I think it worked to an extent in the second half.

They started taking tough outside shots. They weren't getting many second shots. We were able to get easy baskets at the other end.

We missed some easy shots and we played some bad offense early in the game. Our defense turned around in the second quarter. We got our offense out of our defense. Then we settled down and started making some good plays. It came out of our defense first.

We played very good team defense and that led to easy baskets in our transition game.

(Fordham) just did a great job. They made a lot of good shots. Part of it was their ability to make them and part of it might have been poor defense. That's a bad formula. They're getting rebounds, they're getting second shots, they're making 3s, and we're struggling to get baskets at the other end.

We got off to kind of a slow start. The second and third quarters, we clamped down on defense and were able to get some easy baskets in transition.
