Coaches are trying to take the big guys away from the game with zone defenses. That's why athletes are more balanced now. There's a lot of guys that can beat you off the dribble, step outside if they need to and make things happen.
More Quotes from Mike Francis:
When the players found out that this team (the Cougars) was a straight man-to-man team, they were licking their chops. We felt like that is our style of play anyway. That's the first time we faced man-to-man all season. We like to get out and run and make things happen and we did that tonight.Mike Francis
Rodney played one hell of a game. This was the best game he played against us in this whole series. The major difference tonight was he came to play. The two previous games combined he had 11 points.

When a team plays that kind of a zone against you, they're trying to take away your athleticism and make you stand around. We wanted Miguel to penetrate and get into the gaps. He did a good job of that in the second half. He really, really stepped up.

Anthony's been major for us right now. He's getting better and better every time we go out. We just have to get him the ball more.
