per the STrib:
The SCOUTING REPORT. For almost every defensive possession of the year, Ohio State played a 2-3 zone defense. Then, in the Buckeyes' last time out -- vs. Illinois -- OSU was losing and Thad Matta switched to zone. That worked out pretty well, with the Buckeyes going on to win 77-61 and now the coach says he's probably going to stick with it. Do the Gophers just trust that? No, probably not. Coach Richard Pitino has been prepping the team on both. "His zone is good too," Pitino said of Matta. "They've got length, they're comfortable with it, so we've got to prepare for both. But it's a little weird it's a little different in that regard, game-planning wise."
