Message: [QUOTE="Ceerqqq, post: 3784872, member: 6702"] Can someone explain to me why we're not just facing Virginia (III) again? Another highly-regarded defensively-minded opponent that likes to apply lots of man-to-man pressure on the ball, one that has a lot of shooters who are confident they can break a zone (just like Virginia II-SDU); it seems to be the continuing theme we're running into. The one twist: this [I]west [/I]'Virginia team' we now face likes to apply full court pressure, which should work to our advantage, based on recent history, as others have noted. My impression is that this Boeheim squad has been learning how to play "Virginia" all season, starting off terribly, but now demonstrating that they've received the instruction they needed to learn how to beat such teams. I expect to see that learning curve continue its positive trajectory tomorrow, delivering us another major victory against a highly regarded favorite.:p [/QUOTE]
