Syracuse's offense

[LowvilleCuse]

It was nice for a change not to sit out at the three point line and keep jackin threes, they only took {nine} that's good for the 'cuse. They played great defense, took over and drove it to the hoop for a change. They { K-State} couldn't stay with our guards with the dribble drive penatration. Hope they can keep it going.

Isnt K-State a pretty good defensive team by all accounts as well? In the second half it was scary how good our guards looked.

That's because we haven't played against a man-to-man defense in a while. People have been zoning us lately to try to take away the drive.

Our size at guard is underrated. If teams insist on playing man against us, most of them are going to be made to pay for that decision.

Does Wisc ever play a zone, I know Vandy can. If not, then shouldnt we be hoping to face the m2m team in Wisc? Not too mention we are freakishly more athletic than them.

I am pretty sure that they don't. It's like a religious thing with Bo Ryan. Unmanly to play zone.
