This is exactly what a great coach does. The press isn't always about getting steals, it is about speeding up a methodical team. Virginia is very disciplined and they function very well in their comfort zone. That is also why a zone is effective against teams unaccustomed to it. Saturday, we have to throw something at UNC that they haven't seen. Obviously we will be in a zone, and they have seen it. Also, they seem to be like a team that could excel against a press, although it could surprise them and cause some turnovers, but once they get used to it, I think they would torch it, because they would be able to break it and I am sure they are preparing for it. So, the zone has to be especially active and the slides have to be extremely quick. Hands have to be up and ready to deflect passes. This is going to be fun to watch. I expect a fired up SU squad taking on a very talented UNC team.

No problem, saw Moten had posted about it on Facebook, thought I'd let everyone here know. I didn't even connect the DC/Georgetown aspect of it, hahaha!
