Message: [QUOTE="malpearl31, post: 2868155, member: 6520"] That's the beauty of our Zone D... I don't think any of their 3-pt attempts were "bad" shots... but a well-designed defense can absolutely force a team into taking shots that they're probably coached not to take. That's what happened to us on Saturday against Georgia Tech - their defense was really good, but so much of the reaction on our side was to suggest that the game has passed Boeheim by or that he had lost the team. Nonsense. Hardly anybody was willing to give credit to a defense that I don't think any of us have really seen before... Pastner has developed an interesting wrinkle to their zone - their guards actively defended the foul line/high post area in a way that we really don't - and our guys (and our coaches) didn't counter it well enough. I hope we don't see them again in the ACC Tournament, but if we do, my money will be on Boeheim figuring out a better game plan and geting the W. [/QUOTE]
