When you can't shoot over the zone with accuracy, you don't have a big man presence, how are you going to drive to the hoop? The lane is going to look like rush hour traffic because that's all they have left to stop.There are a lot of ifs that could have made it a better game.
Fact is, Syracuse doesn't usually make three more of those threes. Because outside shooting is not something this group of players does well this season.
Further, you're not going to find anyone who would advocate shooting over a zone to beat it. Penetration, ball movement, those are good things. But that's all forgotten when we go up against that very familiar defense.
