Time to go Zone.


They will get some open 3s but it will help with their drive scores.

Might be worth a try.

I can't tell which of their plethora of 28-year old white guys we got in foul trouble, so I'm hoping it's a couple of the better ones.

I have to admit this is a pretty darn good college basketball environment. Glad we added these guys to the conference.

Bears have taken 24 shots, BYU has taken 35. Even those out in the second half and we win and better than win.

His 3s felt a little forced. Last game when we started doubting him they started falling.

BYU is a more developed team (they usually have seasoned players) in all phases. Hope our scorers can get hot.
