Haven't seen Hofstra play at all this year, but it seems like they score mostly off of isolation. Also, looking forward to seeing Cacok and Gustkys go at it. I recall him really giving Cacok problems last year.

I'm not so sure about that. They're right in the middle of the pack in the league in assists (5th - 12.9 per game). And from what little I've seen of the Pride this season, they do seem to do a decent job with ball movement.

And even though Wright-Foreman is a scoring guard who averages nearly 20 shots per game, he's also 5th in the league in assists. So it seems to me he's the type who scores in the flow of the offense, rather than a guy who is constantly trying to create his own shot. Desure Buie is not much of a scoring threat at all and is always looking to distribute. He's not much of a threat on the drive, especially when you notice he's only attempted 25 free throws all season.

Not sure how well zone would work against these guys, but of course we still need to sprinkle it in when we can, just to get them out of their rhythm in their own building.

I should've looked more into it. Was kind of just assuming that off of a 40 point performance. I do like how C.B. has made in game adjustments on defense lately. I was actually talking to someone today that told me the Heels miss McGrath's defensive game planning this year. Which kind of shocked me... Have to think Jackie Manuel knows a thing or two about defense as well, he was a top notch defender on the '05 team.
