Kansas used a zone

[bonefish1]

Watching the KU/Ark game, KU threw a zone at Ark while down 10. Ark started chucking 3's and it allowed KU to get right back in the game.
The announcers mentioned that KU rarely played zone (if I recall, only for a total of 7 possessions all year).
Would Painter dare?????

Well Adams tore his Achilles during their comeback and they even were ahead—I think they would have held on for the win had this not happened. Sad day for him… and then …Dickinson played like Dickinson and they lost 😂

1) He has before.
2) It's not needed
3) The defense has "elements" of zone in it already
4) You must be bored because this topic has been beaten down to death

Yes, Dickinson was really bad for someone with that much experience . Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

we were excellent on the boards yesterday but struggled. A LOT during the season. I can’t imagine we’d be able to get many rebounds if we played zone. KU struggled to rebound out of the zone too.

Well, when they threw the zone at Ark, KU was down 10. Less than 3 minutes later, it was tied. So yeh, I think it worked out pretty well.

I thought the kid from Kokomo was gonna be a gamebreaker.
Not much return on their investment.

If they let Flory play more instead of Dickinson, he would have done great.

I like when coaches change up things just to add a wrinkle but when playing a zone a team is more prone to give up rebounds which is one of our weaknesses

Dickinson cashed his last check at First National Bank.....maybe Kansas should have thought about overdraft protection. Still should take $elf to lunch for the departure arrangement, though. I'll have a root beer, darlin.
