Why do u think they went zone? Royce was killing them. Hate Royce breaking the press, let the guards do it.

The dearth of ballhandlers pretty much makes it a necessity to have him assist with bringing it up the court but that's not my issue. Once they set up the zone get Royce out from the block, move him to the perimeter, and let him help break down the zone. He's so good at virtually everything that it's an utter waste to let him stand down near the block and wait for a secondary pass when we lack the pentetrators to break the zone down.

This is good point. They just need to find a way to keep spacing on the perimeter while having Royce out there. They could maybe play Babb inside which would take away his outside shooting, or else play Gibson, Ejim, and White, and have Ejim guard the 3. There's no easy solution in my opinion. You have to keep the spacing.

I think from now on, I'm just going to stop watching our basketball games when there is 5 or so minutes left to play. It's horrible.
