Hurley does.  He won't let them beat him out there.  Call it his achilles heel, whatever you want. [B]I'm not advocating for his approach, I'm simply saying it's what he's done since he's been here[/B].  It killed us against Creighton.  It killed us when he pulled Sanogo against St. Johns and gave up endless layups. Sanogo is doing exactly what he's coached to do.  Every good coach in this league knows how to exploit Hurley's tendency, which is why our D doesn't look nearly as good in Big East play. We have to go zone 5 minutes a game with DC in the paint just to disrupt these offensive schemes.

And no, Sanogo wasn't in no man's land.  There was not any situation where the screener he guarded scored except the one time he actually moved to the top of the key to cut off a drive, and then Freemantle hit a three (which is what Hurley is trying to avoid).  The other was Nunge on the P&R, but given that Sanogo was pointing at the lane and saying something to the team, I think somebody else was supposed to pick him up.
