This the main point I’ve been trying to make... the zone has been perfectly fine as a base D but we seen to no longer be able to adjust to teams with 3 or 4 three point shooters. Back in the day having more than 2 quality three point shooters was very rare and in fact most teams had just one. My prediction is more and more teams will be able to run out 3 or 4 dudes who can nail wide open 3s and we are going to have more nights like the Baylor debacle.

Honestly, although I’ve been making a lot of threads about the zone... I agree that the offense is the bigger problem. Ours is a joke for a program of our caliber. I know we always say next year, but this incoming class seems to be a year where we have recruited skill players on offense who without regard to how well they play D. Also this season is the first season I can remember JB pulling kids for offensive mistakes and JB let Buddy play 40 because of his offense even though he was getting killed on D because he was willing to get into a shoot out.

I truly think we are going back to an offensive mindset and next year we will see a good offense with an more inefficient D than usual. I don’t think JB has forgotten those offensive sets played by the GMAC and Melo team or the Wes team he just hasn’t had the horses. I think next year we go back to that.
