Cuse/UNC - Breakdown

jackson is a zone killer though. thats a key matchup there, we need to win. he worries me.

Good at least they have a zone killer. The key to a Cuse win is an opponent that can kill/shred the zone, especially from that elusive ACC logo.

I wonder if shooting against the deep background of a football stadium will have any impact on shooters? In theory it should be closer to what we are familiar with in the Carrier Dome, but the layout at NRG will be cavernous compared to the Dome. Could that be a factor that helps our zone neutralize their outside threats??

Anybody else like to see a little more iso play? We spread the floor and let Mali go to work in that run. I don't think there's anybody who can really stop G or Mali with the floor spread/iso. Play up on them and they can pull up for a three, play tight and they go right past you. With Lydon in the game at C, he takes a shot blocker away from the basket.

Defensively I think Paige and Jackson are going to give Mike and Mal problems. Trevor and or Lydon are going to have to hit outside shots.
