Yes, I was really baffled as to why they didn't go zone earlier. My one theory as to why they didn't, was they were trying to "rope a dope" 'Cuse, worried that if they went zone too early that would get figured out, and they knew they couldn't matchup one v one and they wouldn't have anything to fall back on.  If they hung close till the fourth they could spring the trap, which almost worked.  In hindsight who knows how long it would have taken the Orange to figure it out.

Agree with this - I thought Thompson bailed out his defensemen a number of times. He did seem to fade as the game went on, and I thought the same thing against Army. Not sure if it's mental, but when comparing the two, I think Thompson passes the eye test.  Very quick reflexes, and the outlet passes are very impressive - he hit teammates in stride to start fast breaks and also was able to find attackmen deep down the field when everything else broke down around him.  I would give him the start against Hopkins.
