[quote quote=33599]I attended the game again tonight and I remain convinced that if we could play a credible match up zone (much like Holy Cross two years ago), we would be awfully tough to beat.
I understand that we have a short bench once again at least in the front court so we need to avoid both exhaustion and foul trouble, hence the zone. However we play so far off the ball, the shooter has all day to line up his shot. Those 3s came far, far too easy. Play zone and when someone enters your zone, come up on him like man to man.
Sound logical?[/quote]
Might work. But a good match-up zone requires hundreds of hours of practice plus a coach who knows how to coach it.
When HC caught lightning in a bottle two years ago, I think that their 1-3-1 was more of the reason than was their match-up.
