this is not to say that the cuse will win or cover but........
people are talking about the zone and FLA's ability to shoot the rock and depend on the 3-point shot. Well Im a student (graduate) of this zone. I study it every game and dvr the game to watch for defensive posessions. SU has a zone that ENCOURAGES the 3-point shot. SU's goal is to make those shots CONTESTED. If FLA settles for that shot then it is perfect for SU as long as it is contested. Furthermore, if FLA jumps out and hits that 3-point shot (contested) on a consistent basis in the 1st half it also doesnt concern me. This is why: It is fool's gold. Sometimes I hope for a team that is leading SU at half to be shooting the lights out from deep. They often rely on that shot in the 2nd half and statistically speaking it will rarely fall at the same rate. Also, in terms of personel, if SU is not contesting this shot, their team is much deeper than in years past. We don't keep a guy in there (GMAC, Devendorf, etc.) that doesn't contest the 3. We have plenty of length on the bench that can do this. LAstly, the zone will only extend if the shooters on the other team are capable of making the shot. Their early season schedule has not been filled with teams that possess this type of shooter. Therefore, SU has focused on denying the HP(dead zone) and still contested the 3.
