MBB NCAA Final: Louisiana 55, Tennessee 58

I wasn't a PG in HS, but I played the back when we went to 1-3-1. It's a tough cover, for sure!

1-3-1 can give you fits for sure, but if you can hit your outside shots you can get them out of it extremely quickly. If you are not hitting your outside shots it can be serious trouble.

You can also overload the zone to one side, skip pass out to the weak side for the open J...

Maybe I’ve missed it but does anyone have a status update on Greg Williams, Jr’s toe injury?

I heard he is fine, it was really precautionary after the fact for him to still be in the boot. The expectation is that he plays tonight. Granted anything can change, but I would expect to see him in the starting lineup.

Thanks for the update! Hella good news

Back in the Bo Lamar era, Coach Shipley always played a 1-3-1 defense. Bisbano played under the basket, Enron in the middle and Lamar at the top of the key in perfect position for fast breaks. Damn, we were good back then. Used to get to Blackham 2 hours before the game to get a seat and watch warmups.

Well, FWIW, watching Maryland playing 5v8. One of their studs has 2 PF in less than 3 minutes to start the game. May foul out at least 3 players.

Texas state switched to a 1-3-1 with their smallest player(Harrell)on the floor playing under the basket and it gave us fits…

I just think the only way we win no matter what is if we shoot lights out from outside. And them getting in a 1-3-1 would help us see more open looks. I agree if we don’t shoot it well it will give us problems….but if we don’t shoot we’ll from outside we don’t win no matter what they play.
