Message: [QUOTE="FrancoPizza, post: 2545531, member: 5195"] It DOES look better. Nobody can deny that. I think they're making a more concerted effort to deny the post and teams unfamiliar with the zone don't know what to do when that area is sealed off. Playing to deny the post, however, means the 3-ball is open early in the shot clock - and unfortunately Duke will not hesitate to fire away if that's what we give them. Post entry probably won't be a challenge for them either because they have length and wingspan to open up the passing lanes. Like we have all speculated earlier, we need to tweak the zone to give them the foul-line jumper and deny everything else. It's the only chance we have to keep this game in the 50s/60s. [/QUOTE]
