Louisville - Duke Game

[KansasCityCats]

Did anybody watch the Dook game?  Louisville hit the brakes and held the ball until the last second on every possession in the final 12 minutes. They pissed the game away. It wasn't the defensive change; Coach K primarily runs a zone because his players are too lazy to play man to man and he saves their energy so they can score and impress scouts (rather than showing effort on both sides of the ball).

Credit to Dook because they put on the full court press. That was the only significant change that impacted UL's composure.

Also, Lute's 1-3-1 was the reason that he blew wins at the end of his career. When he started implementing zone defense, we'd end up with Gardner attempting to cover big men under the basket. I was baffled when he kept trying to run that stupid zone because he had a great man to man structure for years.

We ran more 1-3-1 in the 1996 - 1997 season than any other...JT was the baseline guy, he got more minutes there than spelling Bibby or Simon.

We ran a little 1-3-1 with Hassan Adams, when we had no true center,  but not nearly as much.
