Message: [QUOTE="longtimefan, post: 2804423, member: 212"] Ravech's set-up before tipoff was bad. He said JB was in his 38th season, as the screen shows 43. Said JB had had only one losing season, and we all know SU hasn't had a losing season since 1970-71. On the other hand--he did have the zone story correct. During the FF year of '96, Boeheim was asked about the speed/quickness of his backcourt (Sims and Cipolla, backed up by freshman Janulis). He said he had the slowest guards since he became head coach, thus the exclusive use of the zone. The success that year probably convinced him to stick with the zone. Before that season, we had played lots of man, as mentioned by Matt Roe in his color commentary last week. [/QUOTE]
