Second half defense.

I think you could have drove a Hummer behind Rak and the forwards. They had no fear of lobs or back screens. Never seen all 5 guys so close to the free throw line. Really noticeable.

Surprisingly I think we only got burned on it twice.

What is wrong with that if it isn't expoited ?

In fact, if the foe can't exploit it that is the way to go.

It's a great point, bornorange, and something I noticed as well. At one point during the telecast, the announcers even mentioned how far out the wings were extending (I think Joseph in particular). When we do this, it almost transforms into a 3-2. It was definitely a conscious adjustment by JB, and UNCA would have been smart to exploit the baselines more. It was clear that their strategy was to overload one side of the zone so we tried to counter that by pushing really far up and shading towards the overloaded side.

I am not saying it was wrong, just different.
