    1. I watched Notre Dame-Maryland
    2. Notre Dame won 87-61
    3. Maryland played a zone, while Notre Dame played man to man
    4. Notre Dame rebounded well, attacked the paint, and made a lot of 3 pointers
    5. The alley-oop and the zone defense could help our team in class

    1) UK vs. UConn Men's
    2) 60-54, UConn
    3) Man-to-man and zone
    4) UConn did not miss a single free throw, moved the ball around well, and for the most part limited foul trouble for their major players.
    5) We should try to integrate more ball movement to prevent one-on-one action, and work on a tougher defense

    1. UConn versus Florida

    2. 63-53 UConn

    3. There was man to man defense as well as zone.

    4. They had more assists than Florida, forced more turnovers than Florida, and were able to play strong perimeter defense by shutting them down on three pointers (only 10% made).

    5. We should cut to the basket more often, box out to get more rebounds, and improve our zone defense by having better understanding of where we should move to.

    1) UConn vs Florida
    2) UConn won 63-53
    3) UConn and Florida-man to man and zone (mostly man to man)(Florida-occasional 1-3-1 zone)
    4) Uconn shot very well (55.8%), moved the ball around well (12 assists), and played great perimeter defense (held Florida to 1-10 from 3)
    5) don't play one on one (ball movement) and take high percentage shots (shots you can make most of the time)
