Beat down in the Elite-8. Tough way to end a good season.

If Syracuse winds up in the finals, I may not watch.

I realize that zone is tough and it's hard to prepare for but really? They can't at least go against some form of it in practice? These teams have looked like they've never seen any sort of zone before. We learned how to attack one back in JH.

March 30, 2003 .... Exactly 10 years ago, the Sooners did not fare much better in the Elite-8 against that Syracuse zone, and Carmello, and the home crowd in Albany. The final that day was ...

Syracuse 63
Oklahoma 47

Hollis, Ebe, Quannas and De'Angelo could not find the range. Bookout, Jabarhi, and Johnnie Gilbert were stuffed by the big guys inside.

Was the zone ran by 5 players going 6'4, 6'6, 6'7, 6'9, 6'10 with large wingspans?

No but your basic strategy against a zone is the same.

They amaze me. They were 5-7 in their final 12 regular season games. I had them identified as not living up to their seeding. They got an upset to benefit them the first weekend but they looked good this weekend.

Easier said than done.
