Message: [QUOTE="QDOG5, post: 2497934, member: 6764"] Chief, Auror is not trying to sugarcoat anything. Auror is saying the zone UConn played yesterday was more effective than the D they have been playing all year. He correctly stated the increase in steals and the increase in buckets we scored off of them. Does the zone give up more threes, maybe? Regardless I expect to see more zone going forward simply because it slows opposing offenses down and KO realizes the best chances for this UConn to win are games played in the 60 point range. There are a couple of ways to improve the zone. One is not to fly to the 3pt shooter and try to block the shot. UConn did it numerous times and Spanarkel mentioned it on the broadcast. The best way is to come out under control and get a hand in the face of the shooter The other thing is to bench Anderson (look at his stat line in 32 minutes). That would by default make the back line taller and hopefully help the defensive rebounding (look at WS off. rebounding stat). Final thing TL cannot play 39 minutes and get 3 rebounds. [/QUOTE]
