[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 996724, member: 2784"] I would agree our best chance is to go with our regular smaller lineup rather than trying to stick with a Duwoana/Claude plus Ndongo. Especially since UNC is going to go with with a true 4 out with Bacot plus 6'7" Harrison and 6'5" Cormac. This isn't your father's UNC double post attack. They are going to try to run even more than old school UNC teams and really run an offense that looks a lot like what we are trying to do. So us going big isn't going to help. We are going to have to play straight up D better than we have been. To start with we CANNOT switch the first Bacot screen and have a guard try to guard Bacot on the roll. We did this last year under Pastner and I watched Smith try to wrestle with Bacot on his way to 20 easy baskets. Guards have to either commit to going over the screen or just go under and accept RJ rising up with quick 3's. I'll take that over stupidly switching this screen. Beyond that we are not going to shut down Bacot regardless of what we do. The key is going to be to keep a big on him rather than a switched guard - and then make him work against a big for whatever he gets. The second key will be what CDS talked about in his post game pressor - the team has to be a lot more disciplined on their rotations and help assignments. Now all this assumes/expects that perimeter guys can stay in front of their guys and not allow penetration from the wings - if they do then Bacot will have a field day on dump offs regardless of our bigs. And you are right - we are going to have to score to keep up with them. [/QUOTE]
