Can we respond with another run?
Can we? Yes.

Will we?

I know everyone hates people saying this but...if we're not stopping anything why not try a zone for a bit just to change some momentum...?
It's just never going to happen. BU has never coached zone nor should he; it isn't a recipe for success with the three point line where it is in the college game.

Edit; in this game specifically, Nelson would probably hit 4 or 5 more and blow this thing out to a 30 point loss.

I don’t want to pick on a guy, but how many Alabama points individually has Ben Humrichous been responsible for? 30? 35? Feels like every time someone’s scoring it’s on him or because he got lost.
The coaches will see the layup line on film if they aren't seeing it tonight. They're learning this team, too.

Yes, this is a weak response, but it's because this game is over unless someone puts a cover on Bama's rim.

The things is, I no longer feel bad calling players out for their lack of effort or terrible play. They are paid thousands of dollars to play now. They are semi-pros and fair or not, when you're being paid more than many will ever make in their lifetime, you better play hard.

If you don't know how the principles of playing a good zone, the results will be worse than getting dusted man to man. This team has a LONG way to go defensively. Playing really good defense is hard. It takes toughness, effort and physicality. The effort can be corrected at halftime in a locker room. The other two comes with experience.

I'm pretty certain that Brad will touch on that in the post game.

Yeah ill throw Riley, ivisic, white, in that group of bad defenders as well. Can't win against good teams with trash !!! defense.

Boswell has a ways to go to show me he is all that? He seems to get beat on defense a lot. And free throws? Hope it gets better :)
