CBB is a one and done tournament, oh and we’re fighting for our lives, yet again, to make said tournament.   I don’t care what we are ranked when a team can make us look that bad and we seemingly have zero ability to adjust.   Hopefully we make the tournament, and then, if we do, I guess we just continue to hope matchups go our way because we’ll live or die by the zone.

It seems the same people have the same arguments and the same reactions every year.   Nobody thinks our zone sucks or that we’re a bad defensive team...what we do think is how its crazy that we have no other defense to switch to for even one possession to disrupt rhythm.

Last year during the tournament we would force that high post guy to do something so our perimeter defenders didn’t have to collapse.  It was so obvious Tech had zero interest in that and were simply feeding the high post for an immediate kick out, yet we never adjusted...against one of the best shooting teams in the country.   It was a groundhogs day of ineptitude.  The posters point is that teams typically won’t beat you with two’s.  How on earth did we continually go “dog sees squirrel” every time they passed it inside?  If it’s instinct/lazy, it needs to be coached out of them and if it’s scheme, then that’s terrible coaching against that team.
