Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4945966, member: 1414"] That probably changed the outcome. But if people remember Hurley talked about how Self switched with all 4 perimeter players. He wasn't ready for that. They all had size, all athletic, more athletic than us with Castle out, and then they had a 7'0 guy on Clingan. The switching is pretty effective to neutralize some of what we do. Creighton copied it when we lost to them. But it's another team that actually has the guys plus the 7' guy to allow them to do it. It certainly doesn't work every time, but it's the best formula to slow down our offense. The problem is most teams don't practice it and couldn't run it if they wanted to. Illinois probably could try, but they had nobody to protect the paint. Alabama is slightly better equipped to guard us that way. [/QUOTE]
