[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 291601, member: 2784"] Looking solely at matchups that zone is going to do what Miami did and clog the middle and dare us to shoot from deep. No aggressive close outs from the forwards on the wing. Let me see it first. Most approaches against Syr start with the ball to the high post and look to go high/low or rotate to the off side shooter from there. Lammers can man the high post but Q is not going to be able to finish on a high low play. And TJ won't find mismatches on the block against the zone. I expect we will run Lammers on the block and run Q, O or Tadric from the wing to the foul line and try to see if they can operate there. But most of all someone is going to have to get hot from mid range to deep. Someone will have to make some shots to open up things inside - otherwise it won't be pretty. Like Miami, Cuse is long and lean around the basket. If we Q and Lammers are healthy I think we can be OK. If not we just saw what happens. And we cannot take advantage of the offensive boards which the zone does offer. Reasonably healthy and I think we play D OK. So I am not too worried at that end. This is a game though that I really wish we had Obongo for to play high low games against the zone. Going to be tough with only one real big to make the zone collapse and not a lot of drop dead shooters. Optimistic but this one's going to be close [/QUOTE]
