[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 694507, member: 274"] I hear you. My point was mainly about raw ability the minute they hit the floor. Even with my comparison, my caveat was to say that it doesn't make us the better team or that the match-up is advantageous to us. Expanding but not directed at you: Unfortunately I don't think we have a great way of slowing them down offensively, without giving up something on the other end. Hughes, Boeheim and Girarad all have the green light from NBA+ range. That either takes us out of zone or opens up the lane for Dolezaj who is crafty enough to make hay. In man, Buddy simply needs to be face-guarded by someone to be taken out of the game. Don't allow him to raise up off the catch, even from NBA range. Problem is faceguarding Boeheim opens up driving lanes for Hughes, who is already capable from deep himself. Girard in many ways play much like Alvarado... maybe a little more score first, but he's shown he can get it done. For the first time in a while, Cuse' issues are on the other end. They are top 30 offensively, but barely in the top 150 defensively. The zone is a sieve, in large part due to what they give up by playing Girard and Boeheim. Boeheim is slooooooow. Girard is not long. Then you have a center playing behind them that has gathered 4+ fouls/game for 10 consecutive games. He fouled out in 11 minutes last night. Not a big deal when you have a bench, but they play 6. Like [USER=2775]@ESPNjacket[/USER] said, you need to pound-pound-pound and pound some more inside. Go at the big guys and force 2 of of the 3 (Sidibe, Dolezaj, Guerrier) into foul trouble, then their production falls off a cliff on both ends with Edwards (true frosh center who only plays in emergency). The most successful way of doing this as proven this year is to have physical big men who attack with the ball and also hit the glass. While we are ok at that, I'd argue our bigs play a more finesse game relatively speaking. [/QUOTE]
