Anybody Wanna Play Defense? Anybody?

Watching the NCAA Tournament it is unbelievable how time and time again the the teams allow their opponents to dribble down the floor and hit a big shot to tie the game or close the gap. (Worse yet, it is amazing how many of those game tying plays have come on layups).

Defense, kids. It is the other half of the game.

Seems like the only reason many of these "great games" have been interesting is because the teams don't know how to close it out.

People like to rip on the NBA for what they perceive to be a lack of defense, but watch those games in the final minutes and tell me how many easy buckets you see.

I guess we'll see if the Sweet 16 can identify any kids who know how to do more than play matador defense when it really matters.
