Without Grill’s perimeter defense presence, Otz Might try more of the 1-3-1 zone. K-State is not a big 3 pt shooting team (currently 263rd in nation in 3 pt attempt rate and 108th in 3 pt % at 35%) and forcing them into 3 pt attempts could be a good strategy. Ward can definitely make an impact playing the top of the 1-3-1 zone.
Well you went ahead and did it now.
