"Georgetown never employs a full-court press, traps sparingly out of its base 2-3 zone defense, switches on virtually every ball screen, funnels slashers into 7-foot-2 senior center Roy Hibbert and places the bulk of its emphasis on challenging shots, not penetration or passes." Do we really play a base 2-3?? More or less. A few announcers have described it as a match-up zone but the only real difference there is whether you commit to the offensive player before he has the ball. I think the term "base" above means it is our default defense and we seem to play it a lot more than man to man. Which makes sense because of Roy. If we go with a 2 shotblocker lineup next year with a bit quicker bigs, I'd expect the pendulum to swing back a bit to man.

Great Quote from ROY!"This is what you live for in college basketball. This is the way to go out in my senior year," Hibbert said. "I feel that 20 years from now, I think we'll be remembered as that group of guys that helped bring Georgetown back." [/i][/b][/blockquote]
