[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 928755, member: 2784"] Bennet isn't going to do much differently than UNC did against our offense. Trail the guard up the lane on the downscreen, be in position to guard the drive from the top of the key and don't help off the ball side shooter. They are big enough to deal with our guards if/when they drive. In reality our offense isn't suited to really attack a pack line D. You attack the pack line on the back side where the help is coming from. That requires quick rotations of the ball from side to side on the court - something we just don't do. Our spacing or really lack of it plays into the pack line strength. We are not going to stretch it as you need to do. Also helps if you have a post who can demand the double team from the weak side and has the ability to pass the ball back to the weak side. Rare skill I know but not anything Howard or Franklin can execute. For us on D, playing Howard and Franklin at the same time is definitely viable as they will play two bigs or at least a sort of big at the 4 most of the time. So at least conceptually we can match up or play the zone. The key to me (at least if we are not getting blown out) is whether Devion can stay in front of Clark. UVA runs a lot of clock and then often depends on Clark to simply make something happen toward the end of the clock. Take him out of that role and they are a lot less efficient. [/QUOTE]
