Has Creighton ever seen a zone??

you guys make a lot of assumptions. i answered a question about zone.

But the last real Big East Championship was in 2013.

2012, actually, but I have to admit I prefer 2011.

This is a serious question - does Providence play a good zone? We all know Syracuse is the best at it, and apparently Baylor's zone is right up there too as Creighton looked lost. But it's hard to emulate a zone in practice if your team isn't any good at playing it on defense, so if the PC zone is only s0-s0, I can see why Creighton might have struggled. Still, a 30 point loss by the 3 seed to a 6 seed... ugly...

providence played zone maybe 10% of the time this year. usually it was only played anchored by 7 footer. they rebounded like crap out of it hence it was hardly ever used. playing zone vs. creighton was a surprise to them and they responded accordingly.

That's funny.

Remember when Providence offered George Mason's coach their head coaching job?

And he turned it down because, well, it wasn't a step up.

Posts like these should be able to be "liked" multiple times. Concise, to the point, and brutal. Perfect for Pee Cee trolls.

yeah yeah i know... basketball was invented in the 90s.

Typical Providence fan's response. FYI, Mr. Peeps, UConn defeated Providence in the New England tourney, for the right to advance to the tourney in 1978. Prior to the BE, the NCAA issued an edict that to enter the tourney one must win a conference championship. That New England tourney went on for 3 years. UConn won 2 of them.
Also, UConn reached the elite-8 in 1965. BTW, since the 1990 season look where UConn has gone. And, look where PC has gone. After your two only good seasons, since the BE was formed, both coaches (Pitino & Barnes) bolted.
