Virginia must execute from the perimeter to bust the zone

F or real estate enthusiasts, the key to a superior sale is acknowl- edged as "Location, location, location." For teams trying to stop the Cavaliers' offense recently, it's been more like "Zone, zone, zone." Because of Virginia players' ability to break down man-to-man defenses with their driving abilities (Chris Williams, Adam Hall, Keith Jenifer) or strong inside game (Travis Watson) opponents have grown fond of playing a zone defense and daring Virginia to shoot the outside shot. In the Cavaliers' two losses this season, they were unable to connect from three-point range against the zone.
