Message: [QUOTE="Twolf, post: 3795949, member: 8437"] I too think Baylor will trap the post when ONO is in the low post, but I’m curious with who they trap with. When trapping the post you basically have 3 choices: trap with the other post defender, trap with the closest defender, or trap off a specific player. You then stay matched up on the ball side perimeter and play a 2 man zone (high & low) on the weak side. If Baylor traps off a particular player that’s who they think will hurt them the least, so just watching who, and how, they trap the post will tell us a lot about their ”scout”. I would also expect immediate help when PB drives the ball & for the Bears to gamble giving up the kick out 3 until UConn proves they can make them pay for using that strategy. Usually in big games both teams do decent jobs of taking away the other team’s greatest strengths, and one or two of the supporting cast on one of the teams have a lot to say about who wins, and I think UConn has more possibilities to fill that role. Fouls on the post players would be the issue that would have the biggest impact on UConn’s game plan. JMO, which is worth exactly what it’s costing you to get it. [/QUOTE]
