The Deacs came up B1G (get it?) in a win over Illinois this week, and one of the reasons was the 2-3 matchup zone. Wake Forest held Illinois to 24-62 shooting (38%) and forced 19 turnovers through the use of the zone, so I figured its time we take a look at some of its strengths and weakness throughout the game.
Strengths
The #1 biggest strength of our 2-3 matchup zone, in my opinion, is that it leaves our center under the goal. This means that 7-1 Doral Moore can protect the paint and not be running around at the 3-point line trying the hedge on screens.
