[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 667667, member: 1776"] Good article from the Syracuse newspaper about how Iowa defended Syracuse. [URL]https://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/2019/12/how-did-iowa-become-latest-team-to-stifle-syracuse-basketball-they-focused-on-3-guys.html[/URL] Takeaway is they only worried about 3 guys - Hughes, Boeheim and Girard. With Hughes they started harassing him at 1/2 court and tried to deny him the ball as much as possible as he was the only guy they were worried about off the dribble and getting hot from deep. With Girard and Boeheim their plan was to get them off the 3-pt line. Both are dangerous shooters if they can simply catch and shoot, but neither is good at scoring inside the line and off the dribble in particular. if Sidibe or Dolezaj scored a few points they didn't care. They didn't feel either could create their own offense enough to really hurt them. Both Girard and Boeheim have had 1 big game. Girard had 24 pts on 8 shots (5-6 threes, 5-5 FT) against Seattle University. His high score ouside of that game is 12. Boeheim had strong games against Colgate (17), Cornell (16) and Bucknell(22) and a solid game against Penn St (14), but played poorly against UVA, OK ST and iowa. [/QUOTE]
