[QUOTE="alaskaillini, post: 1427961, member: 531679"] Agree that you adjust. However, where we lose a key player on the morning of the game, the scheming has been largely done, and any significant adjustment to a strategy this early in the season to one that you have not prepared is more risky than staying with what you have prepared. I thought BU might change up to some zone on occasion (didn't we play zone one trip?), but assume under the circumstances he thought that it would not be as effective or team had not practiced it enough. As for playing up on Akinjo and McClung, I think Akinjo had 5 TOs, so it worked to some degree upon him. As for McClung maybe they didn't expect he could do what he did in any consistent manner. They did let him take 4 3PTrs, which he missed. [/QUOTE]
