The guy does nothing but shoot threes but he does it well. I would let Barry and Phil hound him the entire game and wear his legs out. The other guys (and their coach) don't worry me as much.

Just put Barry Stewart on him, then let Phil relieve him. I would like to see more of the 2-3 matchup zone though.

that was so effective with brandon vincent and others a few years back? Shirley, we would have athletic enough personnel on this team to run it. It is so fun to watch an opposing guard (and team) lose his **** when we jump into that trap.

We play good team defense but I don't think Kodi and Ravern could maintain enough defensive intensity to make the trap work. One weak link in that and it becomes a three point contest in the corners for the other team.

they probably did it multiple times in other games to no avail. of course they'd show it when it worked!

Clarke is a great shooter no doubt, but he can be contained with our standard mix of mostly man and a little zone. I would prefer the zone when he is on the bench though. The problem with the box against Arkansas is Mike Washington. If we vacate the paint to play box, we open up the lane and potentially allow Washington to easily get the ball in scoring position. Then we're counting on Jarvis/Kodi/Osby/Riek to slide over and pick him up and Washington with the ball in the paint is going to be a load for any of them to stop. With Fortson back, Arkansas has several perimeter players to make this entry pass - Fortson, Welsh, and Nobles for sure, and Clarke too for that matter. I'd much rather see us plau straight up man. Let Dee handle Fortson aGAIN and Barry chase Clarke.
