In the 2011 Final 4, I believe VCU shot 39%, UConn shot 38%, UK shot 34% and Butler shot 19%(such a joke). None of those teams were good offensively -- all 4 teams in Houston right now are better offensively than all of those teams, however I do believe the depth perception will be effected.

How can this help us?
- We can pack the zone in more htan we have all year -- almost a "pack line zone D" thing. Keep all 5 guys below the 3pt line and if Berry/Paige want to shoot 16 3s, let them.
- We drive more and stop settling for 3s. The large part of our comeback against UVA came from attacking the basket. UNC's on the ball defenders are weaker than UVA's -- let's attack the Heels off the bounce and get some of  their bigs in foul trouble.

How could this hurt us?
- UNC scores most of their points in the paint anyway, and they keep up that trend. Our only way to score with them is to be hot from 3, and the cavernous feel of that stadium really messes with us and we can't stop them down low on offense and can't score enough.

Overall, I think this might help us. Our best offensive ball lately has been penetration -- also if we pack the zone UNC could have issues getting the ball inside.
