I thought VCU’s defense was physical and aggressive, and it really led to a lot of bad turnovers and sloppy offense by Syracuse. Seemed like a lot of their jumpers were not in rhythm, and even when they had open looks, they were out of sorts and missing. Swider had a lot of good open looks and is just missing.
i thought the defense looked pretty good for most of the game, until VCU figured out how to really get close to the basket and kick it back from the middle to wide open shooters. Edwards getting into foul trouble didn’t help, though at least 2 of his fouls were super weak calls.
You see any of it?
