Message: [QUOTE="General20, post: 1721944, member: 724"] I think you'll see more off ball screens than on ball screens against North Carolina . . . much like the second half against Virginia. Even though off ball screens worked better against Virginia, I don't think they are any better than on ball screens, and I don't think using them gives us any particular advantage. I just think the pressure D UNC plays is better exploited with off ball screens. Plus, if I remember correctly, that's how we attacked them early in the year. I think UNC puts Johnson in the high post, one of the myriad of bigs in the low post, and Page, Berry, and Jackson out beyond the 3 point line. Syracuse will pay a lot of attention to Johnson and keep a guard in the high post, giving 3 point shooters more space. Our forwards are going to have to close hard on Berry and Page, and close more cautiously against Jackson who is most dangerous driving the lane and throwing up floaters. [/QUOTE]
