Title: KU at KSU 2019
Post by: CHONGS on February 04, 2019, 09:47:01 AM
I expect to have a double digit lead going into the half (thanks to a The Flush JR 3) as time expires, which grows to a 20+ point win.  Fans rush the court as they should.  This should set up the game at Phog to be for the  regular season Dr Pepper. 

Things that will happen:

Self gets a T
Dean makes an OK dunk, but still hulks out and crowd goes wild anyway
The Flush JR scores 25
SVG comments about the FKU chant
Mawien loses the ball in a very amusing fashion

Zone and Oscar's lack of knowledge of how to attack one or inability to teach his players how. JFC, all the do is pass and don't even move the ball from side to side quickly enought to get the defensive out of position.

Post by: _33 on February 05, 2019, 09:07:10 PM
Yes, we need more penetrate and kick against the zone, but really you just have to make some shots.  It's not 7th grade girls basketball so you're not going to get a bunch of high/low passes and layups.  Most teams don't play 2-3 zone because teams can shoot.  We need to hit some 3's.

Everyone chant:  hit some 3's, hit some 3's, etc.

We really struggle against the zone with KU’s length and athleticism. Always do. I’m surprised Seff didn’t stick with it the whole game, but I don’t know crap about basketball.

Dumb move by Seff to go back to man.

Of course what's lost on Low BB IQ KU T-Shirt Fan Nation is the strategic nature of fouls and not the actual foul count.

Like clock work Mak had two quick fouls, you could have bet all the farms on that.

We lost to A&M about a week ago.  KU has played the least amount of zone as anyone in the B12 and it gave us fits.  We can certainly win, but there is also a lot of reason for concern.

I'm glad there is an extra day to enjoy the KU game a bit before they get back to work.

No team should play us man going forward, but after half we started attacking the zone successfully. The hawks last night were just out manned and were going to lose no matter what as long as we figured out he zone, which we did.

Still, any team in this conference should play the zone and hope we can't hit anything. There will be a game where we can't like aTm.

Predominant coaching thought is it's a junk defense, or "gimmick". Something you need every blue moon but shouldn't be out with your main tools. Where does that thing always go? The junk drawer. A gimmick is a trick to use as needed.

Predominant coaching thought is it's a junk defense, or "gimmick". Something you need every blue moon but shouldn't be out with your main tools. Where does that thing always go? The junk drawer. A gimmick is a trick to use as needed.

LOL, nah, there is no circumstance in any non professional league would a 2-3 zone but considered a gimmick.

Man K-State fans have really shown their asses this last 36 hours when it comes to zone defenses.
You're not wrong...it's not a combo, but a purist still says "that there is a junk defense".

growing up a syracuse fan, i love a well coached, well executed match-up zone defense and would definitely run one in my program if i found myself coaching a p5 blue blood.

brandochav is right though in that a lot of coaches don't view it as a "real" defense compared to straight up man.   the problem is that you need a certain athlete to primarily run zone vs man and at the college level, that's a big commitment.

Wait, explain how going to an extremely successful zone defense that stymied our field goals for nine consecutive minutes counts as somehow being a “gimmick.”

The point isn’t whether zone is “junk,” the point is that Self was forced to use a defense he doesn’t like to use.  A man to man is macho, and the defense has much more control as to whether the offense has success.  For Self, playing a zone is basically an acknowledgement that they can’t stop us, and they have to hope we miss shots against a zone.  Weber feels the same way.  Both of them are very good defensive coaches, and both don’t like to play zone.

Maybe, but I still don't see anything that works as being a gimmick. It may be something they don't often use, or something that isn't seen as "manly," but eff...it worked. And therefore it was absolutely a valid defense and a smart coaching move. It's kind of similar to how I don't understand why some people see air raid offenses or trick plays in football as gimmicky: usually they're extremely clever plays that require tons of offensive know-how and superb talent to execute. There's a risk to them, and if it pays out in a reward then it was a smart coaching move and absolutely the right one. Sorry it wasn't straight up manly smashmouth football where you plunge a running back into the pile every down. :dunno:

YES! It was a hybrid matchup zone and diamond and 1. We also ran this on my high school team because we were small but much more athletic than anyone we played at the 3, 4, and 5. It was awesome back then but in this era of spread floors and every team having 3-5 jump shooters, that defense would get completely shredded, it's just too much floor to cover.

Yea let's stand in one spot and barely move and take advantage of the fact that the basketball court is too small and everyone is big  :jerk:

If the basketball court was a yard wider it would be the end of the zone defense.

earth to skinnybenny, nobody loved the jake waters long bombs more than i did

beautiful, entertaining, modern basketball is a mix of 3 bombs, ball movement, and sick iso moves. all of which requires space. not this rough ridin' 6th grade stand around with your hands up garbage, let's pass the ball around the top and maybe pass into the middle once in a while. it's not even that effective, oscar crushed ku's zone so hard they had to switch back.

And Wade would have more space to actually run the offense from the elbow. He's the main guy to run the offense vs a zone, but when they clog up the middle, it's hard to get him open.

Post by: MakeItRain on February 07, 2019, 02:28:21 PM
What in the world is going on in here? Of course a larger court would be harder to defend. However, you don't need a larger court. The three point line was pushed back to help offenses, it spreads the offense more. This is the case particularly with zones because it enlarges the space between the guards which opens up a driving lane. If you decided to go to a 3-2 then you're giving up the corner three which is the easiest shot for a jump shooter.

Post by: star seed 7 on February 07, 2019, 02:40:13 PM
I'm not a basketball guy so I'll take your word for it, but my thinking here is basketball has a fairly defined "scoring" range and the zone defends that range, not the full court. Widening the court doesn't make a larger scoring range, unlike, for instance, hockey where you can score from basically anywhere on your half of the ice. But I'm sure there are other factors I'm not accounting for.
Title: Re: KU at KSU 2019
Post by: Rage Against the McKee on February 07, 2019, 02:45:31 PM
Yeah, if you want the zone to go away, make the court smaller. Teams would constantly use full court man pressure to take advantage of the lack of space.

to add to that, squares are the purest shape (as far as rectangles go) which makes this the purest form of basketball.

Up top, yes there isn't really much more space to defend, although the three point line getting moved out did absolutely spread the zone out and made for s larger gap between the guards. However, widening the court would absolutely extend the floor in the corners and would spread the wing defenders too. That scoring range could go well beyond what it does now, in the corners.

Speaking of basketball rules.

When my mother was a high school basketball stud, they played 6-on-6! But like, 3 girls from each team would always be on one end of the court, and 3 girls from each team would be on the other. So 3 would always be on defense and weren't allowed to shoot, and 3 were always the offensive players.

I'm not completely sure about all the rules, but I've always enjoyed hearing the stories.
