just got home from movie, what's up with the defense?

'Going to a movie during the NCAA's for shame....

And same thing that got OSU in trouble this year. Start off great get a big lead and relax and stop playing the same D.

Well you missed some seriously Crafty stuff. Rav swatting a few.

With my weird work hours don't get a chance to go anymore, so yes, I'm taking off first half of a first rd game for it

I can see us switching up defenses occasionally in the 2nd half and playing some zone with Amir parked under the basket.

horrible defensive execution in the second portion of the first half. the bucks gave up 25 points in the final 8:30. we let them penetrate at will, while iona was exploiting ravenel's isolation defense. like ryan does at wisconsin and carmody did at northwestern, iona's coach kept his players at the elbow or higher and minimized our help defense on basket cuts/drives.

Have we played any zone all year? Plus I'm not sure we want to go zone they might shoot us out of it.

matta's going to pull out the zone for the first time this season in the second half against a 15-seed? yeah... i don't see that happening.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

going zone with craft and scott on the squad makes no sense. won't happen. not a chance.

 

[Bucknut24]

nice layup from Sam

 

[scarletngray]

Nice body control by Thompson

Another nice steal by Craft

:osu:

 

[Mac]

Will need to make FT's down the stretch...and practice for rest of tourney

 

[Bucknut24]

good start is good

 

[scarletmike]

Wow, Iona already down to their last timeout...that is probably going to come back to bit them big time.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

sam's ceiling is so high that not even he can touch it.

I wonder if the Iona coach knows timeouts are not like cellphone minutes. They are not unlimited after 7PM.
