Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 238473, member: 1969"] I love all these "All we need to do is extend the zone" posts. And then totally expose the middle of the zone? Wisconsin bigs may not be that athletic but they are smart and fairly skilled. Get it to them at the middle of the zone against Rak with space and time, and they will likely deliver at a very high efficiency. Your also giving them more time to kick it back out for easier shots. That is an extremely dangerous strategy. Furthermore, extending the zone will result in even less turnovers against a team that already controls the ball well. And turnovers are the key driver to our offence. I'm afraid at the even higher number of threes WE will shoot against that hard nosed defence. We are better then Wisconsin. But the "these are unatheletic shooters, all we need to do is extend the zone posts" are just plain flawed in my opinion. Bo Ryan and the Wisconsin players are too smart and skilled for that. [/QUOTE]
