I think I heard where UW’s defense causes a high number of turnovers. We cannot be careless with the ball today.This will be a tough game. Hope the team comes out and "gets after it".
Fortunately, Roy’s UNC teams have done well vs Syracuse (8-2, IIRC); and we do have the familiarity of playing that zone in our favor. If we win, I still expect a grueling game.Washington is 345th nationally in DR%, UNC is 17th in OR%. One of the difficulties in playing zone is consistently finding box out responsibilities. We must control the glass, limiting their second chance opportunities and maximizing ours.
Their coach is a former assistant under Boeheim and his zone is similar. We mustn’t settle for threes, especially early in the shot clock. We have to attack the zone with passing, getting the ball into the gut of the zone as we’ve done successfully recently against Syracuse. Like Syracuse, they have long, athletic guys playing the top of the 2-3 zone who love to get into the passing lanes for steals and easy baskets, they force a lot of TO’s. We must utilize ball fakes and make crisp passes on the perimeter to avoid these TO’s.
Lastly, we must come out of the gate playing with the intensity level we displayed in the second half of the last game. If not, we’ll be in trouble.
So . . . probably don't start Seventh?I think I heard where UW’s defense causes a high number of turnovers. We cannot be careless with the ball today.

The thing that worries me is Luke's shot. He has been ice cold lately. Don't know what's up with that.
We have a lot of dangerous guys who can catch the pass around the free throw line to collapse the zone. If its Cam then they have to close out on his jump shot and he's a good passer who can get the ball down to our post guys when they come open.
Right idea Coby, but gotta make that pass under control.
