My opponent and I will be close all season, so winning in their arena will be a huge plus. They usually play Push with a 2-3 Zone, what tactics should I use against them? My team is pretty balanced and can play any style depending on my personnel I use. Thanks!

You can use Motion, PTB and Base against them. If your team has shooters, they'll punish the 2-3 zone. On defense, just use M2M.

You can use the GDP as well and predict fast and balanced to gain an extra advantage. If he plays 2-3 often is he weak with his inside def?

You are the best judge because you play him regularly. If you have good outside shooters then you can exploit his 2-3 by choosing an outside based offense.

Thanks guys! I made my prediction and set my lineup to hopefully take advantage. It's a good rivalry, so getting a win in their arena will make a huge difference at the end of the season.

lol hi there :)

hoping you win this one as well, TTU's best scorers are his PG by far, this guy had over 30ppg or close for a few ssns, and then his SG and SF

his bigs dont really score but Sugarotti is dominant on the boards.

I'll agree with what everyone here said so far, do Man to Man defense, i'd suggest gdp, he won't expect it from you, i.e., balanced focus, fast pace and.... motion/push the ball or base offense.

Glad to see you making that push for the 4th spot. I might tune in to your game on Saturday.

If his main scorers are in the backcourt and he uses 2-3 zone i'd put an outside player at SF and play 3-2 zone defense and an outside offense like motion. 2-3 zone gives free passes so with motion you easily find the open man.

Hopefully HE doesn't see this!

Thanks for all the tips guys. I thought about using Crunch Time, since this is a must-win kind of game in my book. Is that a bad idea?

i'm against the crunch time, it may affect your team in the long run, doesnt make sense to win this and then lose another winnable game because you crunched. BOCANDE crunches every game, but you'll see the 2nd half of the season how much worse he'll be compared to these first few games..... Do a normal at most pretty sure the prediction will give you a big enough advantage to win it easily.
