Very good thread.  Good stuff here from you and Cheriehoop.  I think only so much blame can be placed on opponents holding the ball.  Some teams do some teams don't.  Some try to push it before the zone sets up.  They use the same strategies vs Baylor's 2-3 but Baylor had better AdjO and AdjT (albeit not that much better here).  I think it is a combination of all the factors being mentioned as well as structure of the offense.  Coach Orange and others have diagnosed other potential ways to score easier.  Of course, when you're not pushing the tempo and not executing whatever play is drawn up then things become exponentially more difficult.  I can't seem to grasp drawing up plays to find jump shots for a team who couldn't shoot.  This season will be interesting.  If they aren't going to push it much (I don't expect this) then the offense must drastically change.  Also, I don't remember an SU team missing so many layups.  Not just Ennis.  Everybody.  There are theories about if this could've been fatigue related but, regardless, it cost us a few games.
