The Gonzaga Game

In an article in the Spokesman-Review, Jim Meehan describes the Gonzaga-Portland game,

in which Gonzago shut down the Portland perimeter players with a perimeter-conscious zone in the second half.

Gonzaga coach Mark Few commented:

"We switched our zone up a little bit, got our feet under us, got some stops and got our break going...., It was one of our zones that does a way better job on the perimeter, and we made some adjustments that allowed us to cheat out on their shooters....."

Let us hope that the Tigers can pick that zone apart tomorrow.
