I was trying to explain to Hayden why Naz didn't need to be on the wing with less than 2 min left. Get that big bastard down low and make him work.
First team in the Sweet Sixteen! Very, well, sweet to steal an adjective. I have to say Benford gives me very little faith in adjustments. We won based on our best players making great plays like Naz's rebound, Skylar's free throws and triple, and then Waters with the beautiful winning scoop shot. We did not adjust at all to their 2-3 zone and I expect we'll see a lot of that next game. Much rather face Pitino than Izzo at this point. Also, should be somehow make the Elite 8, Coach K's work for Team USA with Boeheim has really given him a lot of knowledge of zone defense and how to exploit it to your advantage something he had not been known to do beforehand. Would love to see this team face an overwhelming Duke favorite to go to the Final Four like the Brady squad that did it in the aftermath of Katrina beating JJ Redick and the Devils. Wonderful win, I would feel so much more confident with Wade.. these kids deserve this to continue. Work on that zone!
I think there was some adjustment by driving into heart and kicking, though it took far too long. Not being able to shoot consistently from the perimeter hurts.
