The zone so far this tourney reminds me of 2013 and 2016 in how aggressive it is getting out on shooters. That coupled with how the tournament adds another layer of pressure once again is throwing teams for a loop offensively and hurting their shooting numbers. Ariz state actually did really well all things considered shooting wise but just had nothing inside the paint to balance it.

If you look at this year the biggest issue on defense has been over collapsing the guy at the FT Line , being late closing on shooters, leaving guys open from NBA range and then over reacting to quick ball reversals. All of those except maybe the NBA range piece have been much better through two games.

For MSU- Bridges and McQuaid worry me the most from outside but their ball movement isn't much better than ours as they aren't the passing team that the likes of Izzos recent teams have been. This despite their high assist numbers- watching them they don't move the ball all that well.
