Villanova is a full two points ahead of us offensively.

SignUp Now!So this infers that our zone has actually improved vs part time playing in it. I attribute a lot of that to Carter (and Bolden) it feels like both wings on the 3 are playing much farther out to guard the 3 than previously, leaving pretty much Carter alone but he’s been so good protecting the rim it doesn’t matter.Past four games would be the best defense in Kenpom history by a huge margin, but lots of teams can claim a 4-game sample like that each season.
I would also like to test it with Bagley in the mix (presuming he's coming back).The true test of whether or not this defense can win a National Championship is the UNC game. UNC has I think 5 days to prepare for the zone, which would simulate what a team would have to prepare for us in the Sweet Sixteen or Final Four, and obviously UNC shoots well, rebounds well offensively and runs good offense.
It is the ultimate test. if this defense holds up against this UNC team when they have 5 days to prepare we are going the Final Four barring Allen shooting us out of it or K letting Duval driving the train off of the tracks
If the social media manager is paying attention to KenPom, the staff has to be right?
