Jim Boeheim has spent years honing his 2-3 zone, turning it into a Syracuse defensive staple.
Against Kansas on Tuesday night, it wasn't working, so Boeheim went to a man defense -- and the Orange ended up winning because of it.

"They were attacking our zone well; we probably should have gone out of it earlier," Boeheim said. "We couldn't come back playing zone. They got good shooters. They're pretty good against the zone. We lose when we don't play man-to-man anyway."
