There were a handful of misses today on mismatches. The reason for pretty much all three of the above were because of the ball pressure that UMass was putting on our backcourt.

The ball pressure prevents any easy passes to guys like Obi in the paint. The assists came off of good P&R action to Cunningham or simply getting penetration.

The high screens were because UMass forced the offense to run further from the basket.

UMass was physical and set the tone. UD answered, but the gameplan from UMass was pretty simple...
