believe challenge extremely pass possession seen tempo
Typically, they pass about 20 times each possession when they get it on offense. So they're extremely deliberate. That's something that we haven't seen a lot of down in this area, so it'll be something new to us. I believe the challenge is getting the tempo up to where we want it to be.
