I'm going to rebut this for the millionth time.  At the end of the day our zone relies on good teams missing wide open shots.  I agree that our zone can completely take a bad offensive team out of their game and ensure that they don't get good shots but chances are in the later rounds of the NCAA tournament you are going to face good teams with good coaches who know how to get good shots. So basically this means that once every decade or so we will get to a final four because we will get that miracle draw where we play teams that have no clue against the zone, like 3 years ago.  But more often that not we will run into a team that is good enough to get good shots against the zone and hit them.  This is why we have so few final four runs.  However when you look at Duke you see a program and a coach who will do whatever it takes to win... some times they will play zone sometimes they will play man but not matter what they will adjust to what's going on.  This is why you consistently see them in final fours and you don't see us consistently in final fours even though for the past decade we've had the best run of recruiting since the 80s. Duke, Michigan St take the game to the other team and force the issue... we say here is what we are doing try to beat us.
