Message: [QUOTE="Manleymen, post: 4130269"] I did with a close eye on our starting guards since Fl. State shot very well yesterday. On almost all occasions for 3 point shots we put up one hand to contest the shot, but we are so slow to react we might come within a yard of the shooter and rarely jump. The shooters had a clear uncontested shot. It wasn't that noticeable until I scrutinized it. Wow. And finally our guards consistently watch the flight of the ball flatfooted/frozen instead of getting ready for a rebound. Conversely, Florida State contended on about 75 per cent of SU's perimeter shots. This may be old news but really is an eye opener when you get the whole game look and not just a couple of shots. I might be ill informed - but has this been the way the entire season? Is that what we do with the 2-3 zone. Just let them fire away without fully contesting the shot? It seems if we really harass some of those shots it's the difference between the W and the L. [/QUOTE]
