The Zone defense - It worked so well that we'll see more 2-3 zone than man-to-man the rest of the season. It saves fouls, saves energy (the big guys can play many minutes), and helps the big guys cover the perimeter while still having two big rebounders close by. Keep the hands up and there's not much room left for passing the ball. Praise the big guys for the way they played defense against NW. Let's hope a team hot-shooting the 3's doesn't come along. I was surprised by the scores with the zone defenses and the pace of the game, but when shooting 53% that helps collect points.
