Message: [QUOTE="Trueblue25, post: 2939638, member: 3410"] Reality’s become that Syracuse relies on it’s system and squeezing whatever iso talent of it’s guards/forwards to reach 20 wins and the tournament. Our offense is not an offense. It’s us relying on Battle, Hughes, Oshae and Frank to combine for 70 points then berate their talent afterwards if that doesn’t happen. Our defense relies on opponents to miss low percentage shots at a high volume. Mathematically sure, reality is this costs us 3 or so games a year due to teams just lighting us up (UNC and UVA). Honestly I think the zone just allows us to beat teams we should beat and pray to catch other teams on off nights. This is all to make it in march where we may beat two or three teams that drop logs when they see the zone for the first time. It’s a systematic result, not necessarily an effort. [/QUOTE]
