I think your 100% about the zone defense and Moore.  Thought it was a bit strange to go to a zone when as you noted as SU has mostly physical defenders who have played man D probably 90% of the year. Plus its not like Bingo has some terrific inside finishers outside of Moore or that they were carving us up in man and we needed to switch to zone. If I had to guess I would assume SU decided to zone Bingo because there not a great outside shooting team and Moore is really the only guy who they thought would crank from mid to deep range.  As you noted however, that backfired as Moore found gaps in the zone and often as you noted Gillis or a longstick was chasing Moore as he flashed in front of the goal for a high % look. Also agree about Bomberry, in both the ND and Duke games those teams got good looks at the end of the game because he was ball watching and got lulled to sleep a bit. Now they couldn't capitalize but your point is spot on. Really hope the D can put up a nice performance Friday and kind of get back on track.

As for Solomon, if your going to take that shot you have to score there period. I know he was wide open but if your going to pull the trigger there it had better go in.  Has to be smarter then that.
