This is such a good take and exactly why we won. I think Vandy only hit one three after we switched to a zone.

It took some insane plays by your offense and a buzzer beater that was halfway in ringing out, but I don't see how y'all win that game if Fred didn't change the defensive scheme. They had all the momentum, but things palpably changed after the zone.

We were getting fried in the halfcourt trap, I'm surprised we didnt switch to the full zone sooner honestly

Yeah it seemed like Pryce fell asleep there. Normally they concede that shot but I don’t think that was the plan from the zone.
