I sat right behind the visiting team bench so heard all of the huddles and the in game talking amongst the coaches.  It was interesting how often the Cal Poly coach complained that her team was gassed and not in good enough shape to run hard in transition.   I think their team did a pretty good job of running hard on defense to prevent transition opportunities for us.  But this also resulted in them not having the energy to run hard on offense.  Something to keep an eye out for with other opponents.  If we are pushing the pace on offense and the opposing team sprints back and we don’t get a layup, are we still benefiting by decreasing the chances of running/transition against us?  Our defense has been pretty great this year.  In our 5 games this year, no team has scored more than 50 points.  Last year we held only 2 of 12 non conference opponents under 50 (but they were better teams in general last year than we have faced thus far).
