Apparently, the coaches instructed the team to drive more on the basket in the second half.  The instructions for the first half were to drive and dish.  Any insight into why this was the halftime adjustment and how well you thought it worked?

My inexpert thought: Gonzaga was making the penetrate and pitch approach difficult. When they collapsed on the ball handler, their timing and aggressiveness was such that it wasn't easy to find someone to pass to. But they were so aggressive that it worked better to keep driving and draw a foul.
