Need to figure out how to attack the zone.........
Better get them on the stick George. I told you after Temple that was IU's last win of this tourney because the Cuse was showing them the door. IU looks scared to death like they just found out that Syracuse played zone
The Syracuse team is very good and athletic. I mean they are strong and long. They have a 6'7" guard that plays like Victor and Yogi combined. He can shoot the 3 point shot and drive to the baseket like a 5'10" guard.
The Syracuse zone is very effective as they not only have height to guard the three point shots but they have speed and jumping abilty to get around the court fast. And the Syracuse offense is good too. They can shoot and dive the ball to the baseket. They make crisp passes and execute the offense fast. They make good sharp cuts and use the pics very well.
They sure surprised me and wooped IU this time. I was hoping that IU would run the ball and get down to get soem buckets before Syracuse setup the zone. And IU could not hit their 3 point shots to open up the zone. They IU looked bad. They sure didn't look like a Number One Seed Team.
Now someone else told me that Syracuse beat Louisville earlier this year and at one point Syracuse was ahead of Louisville by 30 points. I don't know if that was true or not but I think it was posible. Syracuse is very athlethic and they get back on D very fast. Faster than Louisville can setup their press? IU was not good at breaking the press but maybe Syracuse will be good at breaking Louisville Press. If they break the press they win.
Perhaps the final will be Louisville vs Syracuse?
