Tatum playing less = less turnovers.
If I were coaching against UT, I'd never press. I'd just pack it in with a 2-3 and wait for them to turn it over. Our shooters are only effective a. in trasition, and b. when our bigs kick it out. You get back on D and deny the ball on the interior, and we have no offensive options other than Golden, who can occasionally create with the ball in his hands- but not enough to beat you all by himself. It seems obvious to me, and yet all these millionaire coaches keep pressing us. Fine by me.
