They play a very aggressive zone and they bait passes into passing lanes that aren't really open. They averaged 11 steals per game, man. They are long, although not nearly as long as we are. The way you best a zone like that is to move the ball quickly, it's why Baylor beats the hell out of us, much worse than the other good teams in the conference, all of their players could pass the ball. Frankly i was surprised we handled Drake as well as we did, I thought we'd have a lot more turnovers because I thought Hittner would do a better job on Lewis and I thought our guards would turn the ball over more. However, that game seemed never in doubt.
Hittner is only a freshman by the way, she can start nearly everywhere. Drake has done a great job of recruiting the states of Kansas and Missouri. Baranczyk is going to get a great deal to leave Drake, if KU was smart they'd fire that jackass they have now and hire Jenny, she's legit. The only real difference between Drake and K-State is depth.
