AF, it's funny because it almost seems like it should be opposite in the shot clock era, as your D, by the time the ball is cleared into the Box, your D has to play all out hard for say 45-50 seconds where in the old days, your D would have to play hard for sometimes near 3-5 minutes, with teams like Army, ND etc. , yet the great offenses of today are basically making 1 dodge and then a shot or a pass for a shot, and D's are struggling with this. I understand that because of the clock, you will face more shots, but again, each possession is only 45-50 seconds of intense D.a fan wrote: ↑Tue Apr 19, 2022 1:09 pmIn the shot clock era? If your aim is to make Final Fours, you can all but forget about your D, imho------if your O can't drop 14-18 goals when they need to, all the D in the world won't get you to the Final Four.
This is a slight exaggeration..... but D won't get you there without big O in the shot clock era.
