How to neutralize Tre Jones?

[shu 49]

Pick his ass hard enough to rattle his teeth 2or 3 times and he will soften up.

I don’t think they’d put him on Battle.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

With a stick. While he slept.

I would

I just think Battles height would be too much for Jones

I would

Then battle needs to use his size, strength, length, bigger shoulders, etcetera to muscle him off the ball.

I just think Battles height would be too much for Jones

he's giving up similar height to all three of our rotation guards

they had no answer for battle last game; they'll have to try something different and jones is the obvious first choice

Sweep the leg

We should do exactly what we did in the second half last night. Go with the Battle, Buddy, Brissett, Marek, Hughes lineup. Run the offense through Battle and our forwards, have Oshae post up without having Zion in there.

Outside of Jones their D sux, NC had over 60 in the paint. Cram it down their throat with anyone other than jones’ cover.

Chuk at PG.

It's time.

Frank shoulder-checking him seems to work pretty well...

bilas said on tv the day of the unc duke game that duke is best defensive team in country. i get jones is awesome but that statement was laughable. syracuse scored 90 plus v them.

beat me to it

Not having JB on the sidelines is going to hurt those 50/50 calls that we normally get at home. Things like Tre Jones handchecking, bumping and grinding need to be called if we're going to have a chance.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Tre Jones is the type of player Charles Oakley would have laid out back in the 90's.

 

[Orangello]

UNC never let them get set on defense. Get the ball up and run at them. Not our strength however.

 

[shermstheman]

The way to neutralize Trey Jones is to give him Zion's other sneaker.

 

[Marty McFly]

unleash frank the tank!

 

[kcsu]

I would expect Jones to guard Tyus. If so i hope we have Frank handle the point and post Battle up just as we did with OB last game. In doing this we negate Jones pressure and create a miss match. In short take away Jones defensive strength by making him defend off the ball.

 

[All4SU]

Slit the seams on his sneakers. It worked for UNC.

 

[stuckinbig11]

more passes

 

[Jasoncuse]

We need to do what we did in the 1st game and push the ball any time we can and find the mismatches. Tyus destroyed all the bums guarding him against Duke, if they’re on him again, he’s gotta play that way again. If Jones is on him predominantly, we will need Frank to step it up again and help with the ball handling. Hopefully, we can get road game Frank tonight.

No matter what, we’ve gotta hit our 3’s. Don’t need to hit 15 but must shoot at a high percentage again.

GET HIM A BODY BAG!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
