As for perimeter defense, Pressey, Carrera, McCrae (given that was a fluke performance) and even Fabyon Harris have been able to eat our lunch.


Pressey, you mean the guy who shot 9-21 with 4 of his shots were drives to the basket coming at the end of the game where Hickey didn't want to foul him?

Carrera was not guarded well in the first game, but he's a PF with a good jump shot. LSU shut him down in the second game (going along with theme that we've improved dramatically as the year has gone on).

Fabyon Harris did have a good game, but I don't think you could use a 7-12 night (2-3 from 3pt) an example for bad perimeter defense.

Pressey drove at will throughout the game. In fact it was a blessing that he also shot so many threes. Now, as you said, Hickey may not have wanted to foul him but half the time he was just beat. This is not a knock against Hickey, I realize he shut down Sullivan.

Even if you discount Pressey's performance, you have to acknowledge Jabari Brown's 4-10 three point shooting. That's with probably 7 wide open looks.
