I don't think we need to change our style necessarily, but there are a few things that trouble me. Wright and Zack have a bit of trouble picking up the switch on D. Zack got burned at least four times today by Kanacevic by failing to switch, leaving Kanacevic wide open on the inside. We made it way too easy for them to score. Has G ever entertained switching to zone? I know our guards are great on man-to-man lockdown D, but I think it would benefit the bigs more if we could try a little zone D. Just a thought.

Scarlet, when the game finally came on TV after missing the start due to curling, I'M NOT KIDDKING, La Salle was in a zone. That was around the 12 minute media time out in the first half. Don't think they went zone the rest of the way though, at least I don't recall seeing it.

They were playing curling? Really? That's terrible.
They switch it up a bit, but when they go man against a team with a mobile big, it seems like Zack or Wright are always getting stranded. Most of my concerns came from the second half when Kalil started going on a tear.
Maybe I'm just overly sensitive because I really hate Kanacevic and hate to see him score.

Yes curling was on TV through the first media time out and they cut back to it at the 8 minute TV time out later in the first half. All hoops in the second half thankfully.
Zone is a bad idea vs. St. Joe's, I think, unless you just pack it in. They really don't have the shooters. I saw Drexel do it and SJU just kept throwing lobs over it for dunks. If La Salle was in foul trouble, I think you would have seen more of it today.
