Last year was an ability thing. This year is effort. Duke has all the pieces to be a good not great defensive team (zone) and that's all they need to be.
But that zone has looked so soft, especially if the one against UVA is how they typically run it. Good shooting teams like Nova and Purdue would murder that zone from deep.
The one against UVA turned a double digit deficit into a 2 point loss. It doesn't have to be UVA good, just has to be decent.
I don’t disagree, but UVA is somehwat limited offensively. Nova and Purdue each have a bunch of Tyler Guys shooting wise that can light it up from deep. The zone that I saw in that game against UVA would get murdered by both of those teams.
Kyle Guys. The point is that a team like Purdue has 5 guys that shoot 40%+ from 3 on high volume. Duke’s zone would get murdered against a shooting team like that.
You said Tyler Guys in your first post then you said Kyle Guys in your second post. Do you want to try a third time at getting his name right? Because you haven’t gotten his name right so far. lol
It might, but if it stops dribble penetration I'll trade threes for twos. Duke's offense isn't exactly pedestrian.
5 of them would be plural. The “s” was intentional. The “Tyler” in the first post was not.
I don't blame you I'd gloat when I could also. Haven't been a lot of that lately for Heel fans. You never know Jalek might be back by then.
What?
I understand what you’re saying now.
This makes sense. One of the greatest coaches of all time has no idea how to teach one of the two main components of basketball. Weird how he can overcome this glaring deficiency.
