Seems to me they need to work on playing against a zone defense.

Having someone step up on the interior would help that. We are a perimeter team and that is what people are guarding. A little "inside-out" would make a lot of difference, IMO.

Tough stretch of games coming up. Sure to be a couple of loses. Like CMA says, its all growing pains. I like the hussle in our boys, sure would like to pick one or more up on the road. WPS !

“We’ve got to focus more on our free throws...” Razorbacks junior point guard Julysses Nobles said.
Very true, and while you are at it how about focusing a little on SLAM DUNKS...hopefully that won't happen again.

YES Pigsfeat! Work a zone to death with quick ball movement around the perimiter & inside and out. It always pays off in the end because opponents legs will be very weary not too mention the benefit of open shots.

When they tried it, the give and go and the double roll pick worked too to get inside.
Just keep that mean defense up Hogboys!

Yeah, only me, Coach Anderson, and so few other coaches know how to teach the double roll pick in basketball.
