looks like FAU ran into a buzz-saw with USF shooting over 60% from 3. may not be their day but they can turn it around if they do a few things right.
FAU has the clear advantage in the paint. the objective at half needs to be shut down the perimeter, go to a 3 guard defense, keep Goldin and a big in there. they have the advantage down low, make USF go inside and FAU can come back cause USF struggles against golden and inside as we saw on a couple blocks
What I think FAU should do is....Go back to the 1-2-2 zone, which is ideal for guarding the 3, better than the 2-3 zone. put the guard on the wing and put a long athletic player like golden who can finish at the top. Trap in the corners and press and mid court.
Even still it is always tough on the road to win, hopefully 2nd half is better for FAU if not tip your cap to USF for their best game all year and a statement win.
