[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 849457, member: 274"] You both make points I agree with. Last night was the first time I've ever seen the 1-1-3 look. My first reaction was, 'oh cool, he took some of Pastner's zone principles'. But sadly it wasn't executed the same. Boeheim said in the presser that Indiana made adjustments that forced 'Cuse to go back to the traditional 2-3 look (or really 4-1 look). I'm not sure I saw Indiana's adjustment real-time myself, so my impression matches what [USER=2784]@YlJacket[/USER] says in that regard. [USER=538]@gt24[/USER] is also correct in that, particularly against teams with shooters, Boeheim prefers to die by the 2 than die by the 3. It's particularly useful, just like Wisconsin's defensive strategy, if you can get someone to shoot long 2's all game long rather than drive at the center or force a collapse. Syracuse is as good as any team at playing off bad shooters and compelling them to take shots, regardless of where they are on the court. More often than not though, all things being equal the guards do not collapse on the high post and fan to man, while the forwards are caught diving to low post or corner kick-outs. [/QUOTE]
