I'm not watching, but I imagine it's something like, "Flash someone to the high post. Make sure you have someone who can cut along the baseline. Get the ball to the high post and make sure to swing it quickly to get the zone overloaded on one side and then reverse it for an open look."

Because the zone is just that easy to beat.

Yeah, but Pearl picks Cuse to beat Michigan... how does that work? :rolling:

sure these high school kids must work cheaper than lingerie models but as far as production value...

Bruce Pearl basically just showed the nation why he is no longer coaching...

It always has been. Amazing it works so well considering how easily the experts break it down.

I do get it - so I'm not going to hammer him too bad (most of us could break it down in theory), but when you're unfamiliar, and it adjusts to those openings, players seem to lose their minds quickly.

Seriously though...how would they demonstrate how to beat a M2M? "Give the ball to the guy with the best mismatch. Hope he makes the shot. Rebound if he doesn't."
