The word has spread, if it hadn’t already.
If you want to slow down the Arizona Wildcats’ offense, play zone defense.
“The coaching staff is realizing that every team is mostly likely going to play zone against us at first,” UA big man Chance Comanche said, “until we pull them out of it.”
Even teams that rarely ever play zone defense, like Stanford, break it out when they face the Wildcats.
And rightfully so — Arizona has trouble consistently attacking them.
“Sometimes we have those moments where we attack it every play and sometimes we become more passive in general and start forgetting what to do against the zone to make the game easier for us,” Comanche said.
