...“I think we definitely will throw some zone in,” McGraw continued, “but we are capable of playing more man-to-man, which in a lot of games was still a necessity. I’m looking forward to being able to play a lot of different options, (including) press more, which was something we really couldn’t do at all before.”

Man-to-Man, Zone, Press. Would not be at all surprised to see Abby P. and Jordan extend the press when they're in the game.

And foul trouble is not a worry with their bench depth

I would love to see MM put in the second team as a unit for a few minutes to press like crazy and wear out the other team. Would also be a good way for them to start building some chemistry in meaningful minutes for 2019.

Instead of saying she won a NC with the zone, he should have pointed out that she both of her NCs with a zone defense.

Torn about the zone. Man is ideal, but that 23 was so beaut. *
