Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 2937788, member: 6979"] that's how it seemed but i think there were a lot defensive breakdowns contributing to the open 3s. Hunter was a key - rightly - but the gaurds especially were doing a bad job of rotating and stopping 3s... i think the coaches WANTED to not let them shoot 3s but it just didnt play out that way - partly because of sloppy d partly because a perimter guy cant cover 2 people at once - especially if they are good passers - which uva is. the zone is going to give up 3s regardless...but syr was doing a very poor job of not giving up those shots. 4 or 5 in the first half at least were just bad defensive rotations...thats a 20 point lead with better d at the half. UVA couldnt buy a 2 point shot in the first half...but SYR was letting them jack wide open 3s all game... [/QUOTE]
