Message: [QUOTE="southie, post: 4247615, member: 2527"] That's not why the game last weekend was closer than the first two, IMO. Texas didn't play as well defensively as they allowed ISU to go 11-[B]21 [/B]from 3-point range. In Austin, Cyclones were 4-[B]12[/B] from 3-point range. In Ames, Cyclones were only 5-[B]16 [/B](without Ashley Joens). Really, so many of the Big 12 teams play zone defense (except for Baylor, WVU, and Texas). That's what Fennelly would prefer game in and game out as his team has several good long-range shooters. When a defense (especially man-to-man) can limit the amount of 3-point shots ISU launches, that takes away their biggest offensive advantage. [/QUOTE]
