Message: [QUOTE="Hoboken Cuse, post: 566526, member: 3013"] I think it can have something to do with the lack of scoring especially when we are struggling to shoot from the outside. By playing zone we limit the # of possessions in the game as it's easier for an opponent to slow the game down. The key for our opponent is they have to stay in the game early and avoid any big runs by SU (i.e. quickly use timeouts at the first whiff of an SU run). I think this same blueprint to beat SU has been out there since the ND away game last year. Credit should be given to GTown today as their half court offense against the zone today was outstanding today especially when compared to SU's. I'm not saying we should change from zone nor am I advocating for a change as I know that will never happen with JB. The saying goes... you live by the zone and you die by the zone. This is why I would could see SU being bounced early or being some #2 or #3 seeds worst nightmare in the tourney. [/QUOTE]
