"It was the first game, if not this season [then] certainly in a while, where I thought we weren't properly attentive on the defensive end," Thompson said. "Not only did we allow ODU far too much dribble penetration, our slides and rotations were slow. All credit to Old Dominion because they did a great job exploiting the situation. And Harvard will do the same thing if we don't play with better positioning and passion."

Regarding Wednesday's noon tip-off against Harvard, Thompson rejected any notion that the game was a dress rehearsal for the Big East season, characterizing the Crimson as a daunting opponent in its own right.

"That's not how we're approaching it," Thompson said. "We're worried about Harvard."

"Jeremy [Lin] is just a complete basketball player," Thompson said. "He's someone that has scored a lot of points but also fills up the stat sheet. His presence is felt in every aspect of the game. That's what seniors do; he has kind of put that team on his shoulders."

Thompson said he has made turnovers a point of emphasis in practice this week.

"We just have to be more careful," Thompson said. "The ball is precious. This game isn't necessarily about seeing some stuff to help us prepare for the Big East. We want to bounce back from a disappointing loss."
