I think it will depend on who we are playing and how well it works for us. It has worked pretty well against UCLA so I can imagine them trying out again.

We have 4 guys of the 9 regulars who are struggling with switches, 2 of which are really bad at it so far. But, some of that can be explained by lack of cohesiveness of any team early in the season unless it's a team that returns all starters and have played together for a long time. That's what made the 2021 team so strong. Those guys had all been together for multiple years (including their redshirt years) so they knew each other's tendencies and knew when to drop off, sag and help.

Drew has stated several times in the past few weeks that he's committed to man D, but I suspect he'll keep trying different styles during this non-conference portion until he finds the right mix. One of the reasons I love playing Gonzaga is that they are an offensive style that forces D's to perform lots of switches effectively, or they will burn you. Our Natty team and UT's D last week shutdown Gonzaga because the D's were all over the Zags with perfect pressure D and switching. Regardess of what the final outcome of our game is with Gonzaga, it will be great experience for our D for future opponents like UT, Tech and KU.
