Yes, makes sense. With three point threats, the zone has to be extended, which then makes it easier for entry passes down low. Last year, the zones were packed in so much, cutting off driving lanes, too. Would be good if we could hit more mid-range jumpers - not many this afternoon though better than against SC.

This year's team is looking like one of our best long-range shooting teams ever, so that is one factor for sure. Also I think this team passes better than we have in recent years, so if the lane is clogged we find other avenues to score.
Good points. Also I remember hearing we've worked a lot more on zone offense, after last year's experience where the Princeton worked almost too well against man and so our opponents spent most of the game in zone.
