And the Question is?

:unsure: After watching last night's games between Duke - Temple and West Virginia - Rutgers, I have to wonder if we will ever play only man to man defense. Of course, this will have to wait to at least next year when, hopefully, we are at full strenght. Both Temple and West Virginia played in your face man to man defense; talk about trying to get a shot off without forcing one. Look what happened to Kuric against Kentucky, only got a few shots off. One has to wonder that even if we had the likes of Sampson and Pelle would we still be playing a zone.
What a difference man to man defense makes!
 
This year these guys are learning the intricacies of Dunlap's various zones. They'll need to have that base when we get five new guys for '12-'13. It took last years' team into January before they got into a defensive groove and we're talking about seniors rather than frosh.
