Buzz HAS to change the defensive strategy against them. Tightly Guard the perimeter. They don't have an inside game so what's the point of sagging off the shooters?? Maybe against everyone else, but not against Creighton. What happened to the Buzz teams from a couple years ago that guarded 30 ft from the hoop?? That needs to come back tomm night(provided they win tonight of course).

Chill. :cool: Doesn't mean he will be effective. Go at him aggressively and make him move. Foul out early!

Seems simple on the surface. The problem is because they play a 5 out, if you do get up in their grill and force them to drive and they get by you it's a layup as your help defense is so spread out guarding tight on the perimeter. It's really a tough tough team to game plan for. I think I probably lean towards a tight guard on the perimeter and force them to beat you off the dribble.

They tried that in the first game...it was as disaster for the same reasons you stated...if you are going to push up on the perimeter you better be able to keep people in front of you......not exactly Mu's strength especially this year....

Really doubt that Stainbrook is 100%. Will be interesting to see how is used and how Buzz counters.

It really is pick your poison and I think I choose to die by the dribble drive as opposed to getting rained on from outside. Really no correct/incorrect answer. Just a tough matchup for anyone.
