Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 3839124, member: 8636"] Not sure box and one would help us so much. By definition you have to keep the ball away from "the one". Not sure we do a great job denying the ball from offensive players. Not a huge emphasis at UConn. Who would that player be? AG? NM? EW? A box and one also leaves other players open for shots. The idea is that players are spooked by being left open and they miss the open shot. Not sure any of our biggest rivals are the kind of teams in which you would employ that D. I think a zone, with 3 on top would have helped us with Arkansas. Maybe use it a couple of possessions at a time. It also slows the game down. I used it last year in a championship game and it actually helped us defensively but it slowed us to a crawl offensively. I love up-tempo. I called time out and told our guys that we were pulling out of it, so we could get moving. Too late. [/QUOTE]
