Sure Georgetown plays a great zone, maybe the best in the country, but there is still now excuse for the way they attacked it. The weakness of a zone is always the middle of the free throw line, and we never made it a priority to get the ball in the middle. It seemed like we were attacking the baseline or the basket and it was easily shut down. I know Cuonzo is a man to man guy but he must come up with a much better scheme when teams play zone. Overall I'm proud of our effort and the way these guys represented the Vols.

You mentioned attacking the zone. I never saw us attack the zone. We chucked the ball around for 30 seconds and then jacked up an impossible 3pointer or a contested two. This team needs to take the easy shoots. Push the ball down court against a team with 4 tall guys. This score was by design and it was ugly. We are a really bad ball handling team and it hurts when you have to make two good passes in a row.

Games like this will get us out of the NCAA conversation quickly even if it was against a top 25 team. One last thing, none of the new players look like they are going to be able to help this team this year. What a shame.
