The defense from last night hasn't been talked about enough. When was the last
time we got 11 steals in a game!

After a rough start, it looked very good. Voigt seemed to play one guard at the top, peel switching whenever he got beat, so the ball would have to beat two people to get to the basket.

Another interesting aspect, I think the players are being told to overplay passing lanes, and run people off the three point line. That's probably why we saw a lot of fly bys on the three point closeouts. There's some analytics to support this. I've seen some NBA defenses that would rather deny a good three point shot than worry about an offense attacking a close out. So the first defender jumps to deny the three point shot, knowing that they'll peel switch if the offensive player fakes and attacks the basket.

Good stuff from Coach Voigt! I'm excited to see this team gel and communicate more on defense.
