Why does AK keep putting this team in the zone, the same thing happens every time we get into a zone, we fall asleep and we do nothing. He kept us in the zone in the second half even after they took the lead.

Amazing ...the only time this team plays well is when they are agrresive man to man and trap and press in the half court at least. The foul trouble did not help last night either.

Perhaps it was b/c of foul trouble and some fatigue?

After the Villanove game, people were saying we should have gone to the zone earlier, now we played it too much? We were lax even in man-to-man tonight and I think they looked past Seton Hall and may have had some residual effects from the Villanova game. I got a feeling we are going to have to play more of it with Hicks banged up. His help side defense just isn't what it has been because he is a step slow, which may be one of the reasons that teams aren't afraid to drive to the hole anymore and are having great success with it.

Excellent observation, Big Dawg.
If I saw Eric in person right now, I'd want to shake his hand for the courage he's displayed this year. But I'd probably hold off for fear that I might hurt him, such is the level of pain he has to be in at this point.
