A concern

Brevin Galloway was 2 for 22 against us from 3 in the two games.

2 for 22.

Keep shooting like that when you play us young man. At that rate, and assuming we occasionally get a rebound, we should give him all the shots he’ll take.

2017-2019 were consecutive years of top 50 defensive efficiency.


Its not the zone. I don’t believe it’s an inability to recruit to those two season’s talent standards either.

I think its lack of effort and accountability.

It's lack of speed and quickness.

This is what I said after the first Fl St game and people said "no, it was good defense". Then the team went out and proceeded to get shot out of the gym for multiple games because they gave up the same shots to teams that can shoot, unlike BC and Fl St.

Our defense has always preferred that teams take more 3's than they usually do against us. Boeheim has said that when another team hits a couple early, it can be "fool's gold" and they keep hoisting bad shots all night. So, I think part is by design, that the opponent take so many 3's.

Of course, shooters seem to be getting better and better.

I do also give him credit for implementing the 1-3-1 this year, to add a new wrinkle to the zone. It takes away the standard "pass it to the foul line" approach, and still keeps your wings up high to cut off passing lanes. The switch to 1-3-1 was a good stretch for us in the 2nd half, I thought.

Oof, wrong Indiana game

Maybe he was confused because in 2013 we beat Marquette to get to the final four. The Indiana game was the sweet 16.
