"We can’t get stops": IU looks to tighten defense - Hoosier Network

[Bloom.]

Yup were using it or a very close variation. You could see it more than once tonight....

...essentially any possession that got beyond their secondary looks or their entries. I really liked the Flex cut action, into screen-the-screener.



The few possessions North Alabama went zone, IU went away from it, but any type of Motion can be utilized against a zone. The main change vs. matchup type zones (2-3 or 3-2) is screening angles, and in a Blocker-Mover type Motion (presumably 3 out, 2 in) overloading sides of the floor as much as possible.

I'm a huge proponent of ball screening the top of a zone...any zone...even a 1-3-1, and IU had a couple of early vertical ball screens vs. UNA's zone. That said, I can't think of more than 3-4 possessions where UNA went zone, outside of BLOBs and ATOs.

Not to mention we've completely revamped the half court offense and are using a variation of blocker/mover this year.. but since no announcers have informed the ignorant common fan they don't even see or realize it.

Dumb! Nothing changed but the addition of TJD and Brunk.
