Ummm ... here's my problem. Amazing defensive game. I will give both teams credit ... altho both teams are examples of the best when it comes to defense. Now ... what I do not understand is how SU can be stymied by the use of the zone. They are the premier zone defense in the country ... ask any of the pundits etc. LVille showed how they could drive through the zone and did it pretty effectively when Siva was finding openings early. GTown showed how effectively they could bounce pass and pass into the zone. When we faced both the GTown and LVille zones we seemed limited to passing around the periphery and looked like a lot of teams that face our zone. Don't we practice against the zone ... I would think so. We have good to great ball handlers in Waiters and Scoop. Now I do not profess to be JB or any of those kids on the floor (I couldn't make it up the court 1x before falling down in complete exhaustion) but for the sake of both offensive rebounds and getting fouls against the opposing team it would seem that passing around the perimeter is not the answer but rather taking it inside against any opening ala Siva.
