Why do Randy Bennett’s clubs excel defensively? Are they more athletic? Probably not…Are they more intelligent? Possibly…Defense is an individual and collective mindset. You need buy in from your players that this is our “golden ticket” to the NCAA tournament. So, how do SCU and SMC compare over the last 2.5 seasons??
Opponents held to under 60 pts:
SMC…34 games
SCU…11 games
Opponents scoring 80 or more:
SMC…ZERO
SCU…26 games
It is why they will continue to beat us 9 times out of 10, and we will be watching them with envy every March on CBS or TNT, while we’re hoping for a NIT bid…again or just sitting on our duff at home. Numbers don’t lie. They are what they are!!
