I think AG learned a lot from that second half comeback vs Miss St. We can really frustrate teams with the zone and a game plan of "let em' jack up deep 3s" is going to work against most teams most of the time. Yes good shooting teams will hurt you at times, but they are not going to make them all game. Eventually they will go cold and you can get multiple stops in a row.
I'm not sure if this will be kept up over AG's tenure, but it is quite clear that going forward the zone and our length (especially when you get X back) is going to keep us in games.
