Message: [QUOTE="AlpharettaCuse, post: 3281135, member: 1466"] Our Zone is what makes us most competitive every night out. It’s our staple and it’s what we play. It’s one of the best defenses in college basketball. It’s not a tactic or a gimmick. It’s our identity. Just like Michigan State’s identity is hard nosed man to man and rebounding and playing physical basketball. Nobody asks Izzo to switch out of man to man when his defense is getting torched. It happens to all defenses sometimes but teams don’t change their identity because someone goes off on them. Especially when that defense has historically been excellent. Our Zone hasn’t been great this season, mainly because we replaced 4 starters, IMO. Chuckwu, Battle and Frank were pretty good defenders. [/QUOTE]
