We're seeing much more zone which slows down the offense. Makes it more difficult for our drivers to get to the hoop. And we're not shooting our 3's well enough to get the other team out of the zone.
Yeah it’s almost like our legs got a little tired. I don’t really understand the screens at the top of the key. A zone gets broken by quick passing and we still rely too much on trying to dribble through it. It’s odd
We finished with just over 2,000 students! First time since Nov 8 2013 vs AmericanU!!

We clearly are having difficulty passing into the gaps of the zone and/or catching the ball and making the right decision quickly in those gaps. The screens are trying to get the ball handlers into those gaps, often pulling attention from the corner or middle baseline defender. It hasn’t been super effective, but the concept is fine IMO when our bigs are turning the ball over on every catch at the foul line.
That is pretty amazing given the artic winds, last minute change to bring events indoors, and the recent deflating loss. I was anticipating a lot of people sitting this one out. Students were in their seats early too. The lower bowl was full a half hour before tip off.
