It’s not the zone.
It's a part of it but not all of it.

Hey, our crew is all class, it will be a seafood dinner buffetMaybe the breakfast buffet table, but that’s about it.
A match up zone is essentially a help out man to man defense.It's a part of it but not all of it.
Scheme sucks on both ends agreed. But, it’s the players. Again, acknowledging the sucky schemes, but we haven’t had the horses for YEARS. In fact, there’s been several years recently where any other coach with our roster wouldn’t have won 10 damn games, not 10. But, the talent is so underwhelming now, we’re just a bad team. Period. Game, set, match. No magic formula here. WE DO NOT HAVE GOOD ENOUGH PLAYERS. Pure and simple. (obviously save for Judah on this team).In support of the players, when you keep getting killed by doing the same thing on defense, they know they can only do so much. Teams with a good inside game and a couple of shooters are going to riddle the zone. This is what we’re seeing. Teams use to dread playing against the zone. Now they salivate when they see it. They know they will get good looks or dunks. JB is the only one left who thinks you can beat good teams playing ball zone. I don’t know what JB can say to this team. Pitt is going to manhandle this team on Saturday. They can shoot and are physical. This team is the definition of being not tough.

It’s more likely a talent issue.
The talent has been subpar for years. We’d be mediocre playing any scheme defensively because the talent isn’t nearly good enough.
That’s the last thing that happens.
Been this way for a while… Really tough to overcome really poor coaching and I truly feel bad for the players more than anything.Not really true, they played until the end. Just the scheme stinks on both ends.
We would have a losing record against a Mountain West schedule. If the ACC was the ACC of 5 years we probably go 4-16.Exactly. I’ve said it all year. I have no idea what people thought they were watching. We stink. The ACC stinks
I disagree with this take. Bell and Benny both belong in the ACC, just as bench players playing spot minutes. Only Mintz and Jesse are ACC caliber startersI think they just stink. Benny and Bell are exactly what they’ve been when they got here. It’s poor scouting, recruiting, and coaching. These guys don’t belong in the ACC.
Joe probably shouldn’t be starting in th e ACC and he is light years better than Bell.I disagree with this take. Bell and Benny both belong in the ACC, just as bench players playing spot minutes. Only Mintz and Jesse are ACC caliber starters
While I agee that the talent level has significantly declined, I can think of a number of coaches that would have made this roster perform much better.Our talent is awful. We had players tonight that couldn't see minutes at non-P5 schools.

I have taught my 5/6 team to rebound in 10 weeksJB will complain about no production from the 3 position again. Well, who recruited all of them?

And that’s my point why Bell doesn’t belong in this league.Joe would be a great 6 or 7th man
We don’t have upper tier ACC talent.We have talent. Its not being used properly.
remember when he was the starting pg for 3 years? That was wild.Joe would be a great 6 or 7th man
