In response to MrPhillie
One of my concerns with the offense is exhaustion from playing man defense so much. Firstly, while playing man will keep us competitive with low and mid major programs, this team already has some key offensive players who can't play defense well. More athletic teams would have to have a very poor shooting night for us to be competitive. Secondly, as I started this post, man defense wears on players especially when this team does not play as deep into the bench anymore.
I'm not certain why there is a reluctance from Paulsen to go with more zone defenses however if changes aren't made, blow outs versus top tier programs and worn out players will continue.
