Well I think the type of zone he’s playing is throwing fans off because we’ve been zone 95% of the time all year. Of course the 1-3-1 trap is obvious but our base isn’t a 2-3 matchup it’s a 1-2-2 or 3-2 which is what the NBA plays when they play zone and we use matchup principles so I can see where it looks like man to people. As far as our pace we’re about the same, the FG attempts are a hair down but the offensive rebounds are down plus the 3s and FTs are up so it’s really the same just distributed in different ways. I agree we’ve had trouble with rotations and help, the UGA game we had 5 men collapsing on drives leaving kick outs wide open, but the last 2 games we’ve been much better with that. Just gotta keep it going on D and we could be set to go on one of those long runs we’ve seen the 2 previous years under Wade.

During the broadcast, Jimmy Dykes was mentioning that LSU in that game wasn't getting defensive rebounds. I pulled up the ESPN app and checked the stats, and we were literally outrebounding Arkansas and we had more drebs than they did. Bit of a headscratcher. I do think that we have a lot of room for improvement, still, but the narrative hasn't matched the facts for the past few games at least. The key to us succeeding in rebounding seems to be the level of activity we get from Days and Watford. If those guys are on, we're getting boards. If they're slacking or having foul issues, our rebounding suffers noticeably.
