Nobody remembers a missed free throw. All they remember is a block. That's how Bubba's Team thinks. What the Irish did basically worked, using a matchup zone to lock in on bulky Rahim Lockhart and pressure the perimeter. It's just that the Rebels defense was better.
Truth is, it has been all season.
Opponents shoot only 31 percent from the 3-point arc. Iona and Notre Dame shot a combined 35.4 percent from the field against a team that plays without total recall on defense. Sanders thought he had blocked Notre Dame forward Danny Graves to win the game. Carroll is a sophomore forward. I kept getting mixed up on the assignment because I had to run down court beside them, I had to look at the numbers.
