Press and trap after made baskets. If you’re playing a short, slow, plodding team, use your superior speed and length to be disruptive on defense. Make the opponent work just to advance the ball. This takes a mental toll on them just as much as a physical one. And once they do get in their halfcourt offense, extend the D and make them operate outside their effective range. This can be done if you have superior length and/or lateral quickness, preventing drives. But you have to work.

100%. The full court on ball pressure even if it is light makes the PG worker harder and takes more time to initiate offense. More time to initiate offense speeds up the mind and leaves less time for them to run sets.

We'd either have to double Edey every time he gets the ball and make someone else beat us or allow him to get 30 & 15 and guard everyone else.

None of our bigs can stop him 1 on 1.

Noone can. But we literally might be the best matchup for them in the country. We can put three mobile 7 footers on the floor and one of them can make him play on the perimeter. Plus we can get up and down in a way if we get our pace would just run them off the floor.

Vs UConn the coaching mismatch would be so bad our guys would have to play lights out
