How do we attack a zone with our personnel?
An alternate prediction has a player hitting 3 3s that we didn’t see coming after team needed shooting options to beat zone.
Could be Dadika, bullock burning the shirt, Downes or Smith?

Is it a Matchup Zone ?
I cant believe all the negativity.
Like coach P always says, this is a process
a process that totally eluded our last coach
but some of you guys think we somehow magically inherited 6 blue chippers
we didnt
he have the guys we have
and coach P does great getting the MOST out of them MOST of the time
ESPN says 52% chance of winning
As usual we keep it close and go down to the wire
Corey makes a steal with 4sec to go, with a nice pass to Freeman for a dunk and a WIN

Don’t think so. Won’t be like Hartford zone
My big fear is a high zone where the ball never gets inside

I see you have not watched much of Iowa this season,
Fran runs a “zone” but the 1-3-1 is mostly just a way to slow the opposing tempo and prevent transition opportunities. That is why they are 26th offensive tempo and 270th in defensive tempo. They usually hop out of the zone in the half court setting.Crazy thing is i have. I think i have been wrong in EVERY Iowa game. When i finally exited the bandwagon they beat Illinois.
Again this is a match up thing. They play zone. If we don't solve it and have possession after possession empty it has to show itself on the defensive end eventually. That is my theory here.

Without Williams I just don't see how Rutgers will score more than 60 points.Sanders,Baker and Freeman would need to score at least 45 points and the rest of the team 20 or more points to reach 65 points.

Losing Williams will do one of two things. Worst case: Team is unable to replace all the things he did and flounders for the rest of the season. Best case: Somebody
steps up and takes up the slack and we are able to win some more games.
Not too confident right now for the best case.
That is an easy way of looking at it but who plays the extra 22 minutes. keep in mind Sanders and Baker are already stretched in minutes before the injury. Assuming Iowa playing mostly zone.
Sanders 31 Souf/Dadika 9
Baker 34 Sanders 6
thaim 37 baker 3
Freeman 28 Eugene 12
Duke 10 Eugene 14 DoorSa'n 16
You are asking Corey Geo and Issa to play 37 minutes.....and don't get in to foul trouble. May mean RU goes some zone.
