Last night Villanova continued to get boards against the zone and got tons of open looks that didn't fall. It confused them, but if teams scouted us and had time to analyze it, they'd make us pay with threes and pass penetration. Nova missed their threes and didn't adjust well enough. I don't think it will work nearly as well if we see them again at MSG.
I agree. Zones are more situational as a change of pace. Went longer last night once MU took Luke out as Nova kept shooting and missing 3s. Not going to work as a whole game thing.
