SU grabs a big lead at the beginning of the game, and then squanders the lead, only to make it very close, or lose. We let them hit shots from the outside, our only two scorers run out of gas, etc.
 
Or...we have the worst defensive game of the year.
 
As Len Elmore pointed out, high major teams i.e. Our peers, are shooting better from three in the second half than the first. His point was you need a plan B in D. I said this last year, ACC teams are too well coached and disciplined to rely on just the zone for entire games. We are playing in a league with multiple NDs and Pitts, the zone won't work some games, what is plan B? Outscore them?
 
Basketball is a game of runs. Fortunately Cuse wins more than they lose.

Push out to the three point line on shooters, like everyone else? Elmore was looking for data to confirm his idea - and found a few games.
