Duke has the athletes to get up in guy jerome and hunters faces and STAY there. not many programs do...but i think SYR actually does as well..they actually have the physical advantage over UVA thats why UVA sucked from 2 in the first half...SU is TALL and LONG...which is good for defense in general not just man 2 man.

if you had 3 tyus jones type defenders on those 3 guys - playing smothering man - you force UVA to beat you with their backups - that's what I would try to do. you simply cannot face gaurd those 3  in a zone but you could in man...and yeah there's counter-measures UVA can do...screens, etc...they are going to get their's to a certain degree...but AT LEAST MAKE GUY/Jerome/hunter DRIBBLE BEFORE SHOOTING...come on!

Now...in NO WAY am I saying that approach would [U]definitely work[/U]...far from it...you're right UVA has only 2 losses...for a reason...they.are.good.

maybe the loss would be just as bad in man vs zone...but imo UVA is perfectly built to play vs zone...they probably love it that SYR won't ever switch out of it...UVA is more-suited to beating a zone than man, imo.
