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?????

Yeah that was kinda crazy.

And no painter would not 😂

How’d that work out for them?!?!?

Sorry, had to dunk on this take

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

Arkansas has some nice athletic players

Flory should come here….

That can’t shoot tho 😂

We won’t pay that price

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.

This dude is my vote for our big :

I live 40 mins away from Lewisburg, Pa. ( Bucknell) seen him play occasionally and he is pretty good

So, your philosophy is that any time a team loses means their strategy didn't work?
Does that mean that for every game Purdue loses and didn't use a zone that it was bad strategy from Painter?

PaBoiler….go recruit him then!!!!! 😂 😂

Paint needs you!

But in all seriousness, seeing his athleticism and how hard he dunks. And can hit the 3…and had 30+ blocks…I’m sold. He doesn’t even need to do all that next year. Just be a threat and a big piece for the team. Having him and Jacobsen at the 5…would be ideal.

 

[Steve83]

Painter has a few hours until the next game. That’s plenty of time to teach a zone to a team that never plays it and then practice it to perfection. I say go for it.

What could go wrong?!

Last time I remember painter going with a zone was Robbie’s last game against Kansas in the tourney. I think that was in 2012. Maybe he’s done it since but I can’t remember.

They did it with Haas in the paint and it was ugly

Played it when AJ and Kendall was playing for about 4 or 5 games. Spent the summer before working with basil Mawby on it.
