And we are 3-6 in those games.

looks like our "help" defense gets caught on good screens and finds itself out of position on a team that can make that extra pass to hit the open man. we play a pretty tough man to man but our zone defense, with certain player combinations, seems to be a liability.

I appreciate that analysis. I would like to hear better basketball minds than mine explain why they think we get burned so consistently. It is definitely our Achilles heel. That and our generally poor shooting. Sometimes is just seems like sour luck, so if there were actually something we could work on and fix it would make me feel better.
