It’s impossible to talk quickly enough to keep up with everything happening on a basketball court. The game moves too fast. And talking, said Washington’s Matisse Thybulle, is much too slow.
Watch Thybulle play defense and it’s easy to understand his assessment. The senior guard is the only active player Division I in the top 25 in both steals and blocks. In describing his defensive prowess, Thybulle has said it’s like everything around him moves in slow motion.
Imagine his surprise, then, when he gets a steal, looks down the court and fellow senior David Crisp is already halfway to the other end.
