Well that's a problem. I wish Underwood had the team practice this for certain situations throughout the season. You never know when you will need to switch to it. Even though we didn't go zone doesn't mean we shouldn't have been prepared to play it.

You can say what you want about defending Krutwig, but the bottom line was we scored 24 in the first half, 58 total, and were beaten by a better team that day.
Eh, it’s kind of sad when people on here post “go zone” and he doesn’t. Then Oregon State does, and they’re actually in the game. Don’t have to be a coach to understand basketball.
I can say what I want about defending Krutwig? OK I did. Anyway. We gave up 33 in the first half and if we play differently on defense they don't score 33.
And have had a lot of open looks against the vaunted osu zone.
Confirmed
It is Oregon State's length as well.
I agree but could we have at least tried it for a 4 minute stretch?
I think he should practice it some as well, but at the point of the tournament and a 1 day prep, you can't prepare in that time frame. It hurts seeing the zone bug loyola, but like I said, it's understandable why Underwood didn't try it. At the end of the day, our coach was thinking the same thing we were all game. Sooner or later we will make a run and take over. It just never happened...
I can think of at least five wide open 3’s that Loyola has missed. I do agree that zone has knocked them out of sync. And is one of reasons they only have 16 points. Missing wide open shots is another.
