I couldn't emphasize it any more than I did during practice, but I'll try again anyway. On Sunday, we will push, push, push the ball. We will be quick. We won't rush. Quick without rushing or hurrying. It is very possible to push the tempo and play intelligently at the same time.
I think today was a good demonstration in the importance of transition DEFENSE, or recognizing that half the battle is won there. Running the fastbreak isn't hard. It's fun. But getting back on defense, there was quite a bit of lagging, especially by the second scrimmage today.
It's all good, though. Getting ready for the rest of the season means being balanced and being able to play at any tempo. We have the slower and moderate tempos down pretty good. We've shown that we can go uptempo at times. Looking forward to Sunday's challenge.
