I didn't think they looked tight, just lost.  Every drive resulted in an awkward shot, I don't know if that's because Melo does a better job of being available for the pass or what, but every time they went in it was a black-hole.  We can't screen and roll up top because Baye can't catch a cold, and Rak just doesn't seem to present himself as much of an option.
 
In the chat I didn't think we could force the tempo much against ND, but when the zone got more aggressive it definitely helped.  Once we pressured them and made them react instead of just carrying out their offensive game-plan (which is pretty offensive - thank god we have a shot clock or ND would just refuse to shoot altogether) they seemed to struggle a bit more.  The exit plan most of the time once we picked it up was to get it to Cooley and have him elbow the  out of everyone within 10 feet.
 
All things considered it was poor performance, not sure I would chalk it up to them being tight as much as we had a few too many guys that thought they were capable of stepping it up and taking over when they aren't really that "dude" yet.
