[QUOTE="gt24, post: 783758, member: 538"] Agree. Regarding your last point... an additional note about GT zone O vs Cuse... our decision making was quick and efficient. We made quick decisive cuts and passes. We hit cutters/flashers in stride. We rarely held the ball and stared. You could see plenty of perimeter ball fakes from guards to setup their passes - they knew where they wanted to go and who they wanted to feed before they made the passes. It's another example this season of very good coaching and smart players (also the beenfit of veteran players). It's pretty damn easy to "run" a zone O midseason after facing mostly m2m defenses all year. It is another thing altogether to "run" zone O and have good timing, reads, decisive execution, and not just settle on making 3s or having superior athleticism. Those split second decisions are the difference between looking great and looking "slow" (poorly coached). It's not as critical vs slower, smaller zone defenses. But against a long, athletic, connected zone D like Cuse, it's a must. What sticks out about Cuse zone D is how incredibly well they move on passes.
