Greg McDermott’s team got back to work at the Championship Center after taking a day off on Wednesday to rest and recover after their season-opening win over Western Illinois on Tuesday night. Senior guard Kaleb Joseph brought the team together before the actual pre-practice huddle with the coaches to get everyone locked in before the session got underway with some individual ball movement drills.
Decision making on offense was a main area of focus once 5-on-5 started. McDermott stressed the importance of using jump stops and driving to the paint with the purpose of making a play for a teammate instead of forcing their own offense in traffic.
