and ive seen a few people on here suggest we do it, or wonder if we're gonna do it. and that is collapse the zone inside to help rak/baye and give up 3s and just hope they miss. NO NO NO!! id rather give up 20+ to a big then give up a bunch of open 3s. We can still win if a big goes off on us, we cant win if a team goes off from 3 on us, which you know will happen if we do that.
 
This would be especially true against a team like Vandy. I'd rather let them get their points in the paint than let Jenkins go off from three.

collapsing the zone means they have to kick it out. It leads to steals and fast break points, not just open 3's. It shouldn't be done all the time, but they should do it.
 
Well miss fab in the intimidation factor more than anything...teams will go in the lane more when they wouldnt even attempt it against melo, hopefully rak can change their minds early in games
