Do we play zone vs. Indiana?

[mikewebb68]

I say no.It is a fairly easy defense to beat once you've seen it on tape, an advantage that Minny did not have. I see us playing mostly man, perhaps switching to a match-up zone from time to time just to throw the Hoosiers off.

Heck ya! Press on all inbound plays!

Whatever gets our players going on d then I'd say go for it! I'd at least give it a shot and see what the results are. We need to start getting winning streaks going! IU is a must win if we want to go dancing!

Guys I know you have a Moe and Larry already, but, as everyone knows, the act is not truly complete without a Curly!

IU fan here. We've had success against zone defenses this year. Obviously the massive coaching upgrade on our sideline is the reason why.

Yeah, thinking we won't play too much zone, especially since we match-up a bit better in man with Davis out. Should be a good one tomorrow if we show up to play....

I would suggest that we should mix in both. Agree that IU is not as ripe a target for the zone as Minny without Coffey was. But I think it's worth mixing up the defenses some, then go with whatever is working better for most of the 2nd half.

I like NU picking up three quarters court....shortens the clock a little and gets the team more focused and energized on D.

We've played better without Davis. Have been much quicker defensively and Morgan is dominant as a 5.

i would expect alot of zone the rest of the year until the zone no longer works
