Message: [QUOTE="August_West, post: 5004276, member: 1047"] That's not necessarily true, it happens. For example Bryce Hopkins abusing Freshman Karaban in Providence in our loss there in January '23. That mismatch was the biggest key to PC's victory. However, I agree overall that over a season other attributes of a "modern" 4 are enough to win a lot, an example there would be this year that kid Reneau on Indiana really gave us a ton of trouble. We still killed them, but we couldn't handle him at all. As always, there is not one way to get this done. Good teams exploit mismatches on a game to game basis. Different rosters present different mismatch opportunities. If the last two natty squads had any soft spot defensively that showed itself to be consistently exploitable, it was handling skilled, physical 4 men who preferred to bang inside the circle in iso's rather than stretch the floor. Luckily not so many of those people exist. [/QUOTE]
