I'm less concerned with the turnovers than the fact that this team hasn't..

...shot the ball well and the way Penn State is playing they are fighting for possession churn and will give you a quick open shot and trust the odds are in their favor over the course of the game. I also think typically effective pressing teams have shortened Mike Young's playbook in a way that has hurt VT but with this year's team it could very well be that the pressure and pressing opens some offensive opportunities that may not be there in a more halfcourt game and plays to VT's hands, hard to know until they toss the ball up.

Rech certainly didn't fare well in limited mins against similar teams....

Interesting point about how well we'll respond to pressure

Reichsteiner is a good ball handler just lacks confidence
Hoke 11/13/24 11:07 AM ET
i think he just doesnt have the explosive burst necessary

He has above average strength for a PG

Good points. Thanks for the analysis. **

At this point it would be coaching malfeasance not to throw presses, traps
Vippie1 11/13/24 11:06 AM ET
I think we will see some of both **

True. Lawal, Hammond & Johnson could thrive in open court type
hokiepro 11/13/24 09:10 AM ET
They could, if MY lets them.

I think they will take what they can get
