We need to pick up the pace - a little

This year's version of the Trojans could and needs to play at a slightly faster tempo. I am not talking about getting silly about it - a little faster. We have a veteran guard crew this year and lots of depth on the perimeter. That should allow us to run when the opportunities dictate and to apply more pressure both full court and half court. One thing that might hinder our running is that it is not clear that this will be a very good rebounding team, and you need to dominate the defensive boards in order to turn those into fast breaks. But we might be better than I think.
