Not sure we have someone. Who is our best defender? Sure didn’t have one last night and it almost cost us

A single lock down defender is useless without the rest of the team. You can scout against one guy and work around it, you cannot scout against 5 well-rounded defenders.

It's far better to have 5 guys who can defend at a level seven out of ten than one guy who can defend at a level ten and the rest at a level three. Get your calculator out if you need to.

You don't need a lockdown guy. You need a team that's above average at it.
 
We don't have a lock down defender. We have a lock down defense. Every guy out there busts his ass on D or he sits on the bench. No matter how good your D is, if a guy is unconscious a guy is unconscious. It was just a really good game of runs, and Iowa held on for dear life. Fun game.

To answer your question, Banks is our best defender, IMHO. I like Sage's game as well. A lot.
