You get so focused on the game that you just get in the zone and establish a great rythem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USC, Oklahoma State (beat Kansas twice), and maybe St. Mary’s. Some say Notre Dame, and they did beat Syracuse head to head, but not near the quality wins of SU. Hey, some times you catch a break, some times you don’t. This year we got a lucky bounce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USC and St Marys I agree with. Cases can be made for and against all bubble teams. Notre Dame I believe was rightfully left out. Stinks for ND because they would have been in easy without the injuries but those are the breaks. We had better RPI and better quadrant wins. As far as Ok State goes, f Doug Gottlieb.

Greybeard Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I saw an interview with coach K sometime in the last two days, he mentioned that Duke can play zone and has in very limited time. He gave credit to Boeheim and Hopkins for showing the Olympic teams how to play zone, which helped him understand it. I found that kind of interesting.

Yep Coach K picked it up from Boeheim and has been steadily using it more every season... this season the most frequent I saw an interview where he said that the team plays better when they hear Grayson's voice and him manning the top of the zone gets him talking on the court Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Bonny play a zone now, although it is a 1-3-1. I don't understand how a zone got UCLA to start missing threes. It took away their perimeter game somehow..........Back in the stone ages when I played, I loved playing against zones because I had a very good outside shot - and not much else.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I will take that win!! As usual, painful to watch on offense. Just a bunch of dribbling and bad passing. But a win is a win. Now onto the zone killer, Jamie Dixon! Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo716 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Tyus had such a beautiful crossover pull-up 3 to go up by 3 with like a 1:50 left even when he has an off game he always shows up in the last few minutes of a close game he has hit a good amount of big shots late in games this year 1 hour ago, PromoTheRobot said: What a bricklayers convention. Thats what good defense does. Stifles an opponent hardly any teams blew the roof off Cuse. They had a top 20 defense Syracuse has only had 3 scorers all season.
