Our zone blows

[dasher]

Or so I have been told

 

[syrBossHogg]

Gotta play M2M more often /s

 

[malpearl31]

Lol. This could be the greatest thread ever...

 

[Lucid]

Yeah, let's all beotch about the defense.

 

[UnderHisOwnPower]

Or so I have been told

Loving the edge we'll most certainly need with a short turn around for sparty too. Suck it Dixon

 

[Cuseball]

Or so I have been told

Yes it’s really bad. Many experts on here have told us how porous it is. If only Jimmy would take their advice

 

[GonzoInMD]

Sir Charles insists the zone is easy to play against. Are you inferring that he's wrong?? :rolling:

In all fairness to me, I did watch a college game this year.

 

[BrookhavenCuse]

I sure hope they change it up against Sparty and come out in a Box and 1 or Triangle and 2 because as Dasher said this zone blows!

The way we played it tonight was phenomenal.

Defended the 3 aggressively and allowed them to take uncomfortable mid-range jumpers.

[Shark58]

does it have man-to-man principals?

Please let us advance to a game where we get to hear Raf say that after the tip!!

We held the highly ranked TCU offense to 39.6% shooting overall, and 17.6% from beyond the arc.

Facts, smacts, learn the game. Your type of thinking is the same as the 73 year old man. He probably thought his team played good defense tonight because of numbers like that.

 

[jdubs30]

JUST GET IT TO THE ACC LOGO

 

[DomeStranger]

You're right, and Charles said the zone is why Syracuse has always been a bad offensive team. And we all know how sharp guy he is.

Couple of tweaks to the zone and we would have won by 15 points, going away. Lol.

At long last, at long last.

 

[Madbiker]

Tonight was the best the zone has looked all year. Moving, shifting, hard for TCU to get an open shot. Well done!

 

[longislandcuse]

At long last, at long last.

I'll always give credit where credit is due. The defense tonight was filthy.

I'd argue that they made some of those tweaks that I posted about but am a humble man and won't take credit for the win.

He also said JB is holding back his guys on offense because he doesn't allow them enough freedom. Brilliant.

You're right, and Charles said the zone is why Syracuse has always been a bad offensive team. And we all know how sharp guy he is.

His logic, assuming he has any, seems to be that our offense is poor because we practice against zone and don't know how to attack a man defense. I've always thought that we practice our offense against man because that is what most of our opponents play.
