I have to disagree strongly. I think Izzo is an excellent game coach. The players simply didn't execute. Passes were errant, they were loose with their dribble, and most of all, they just couldn't put the ball in the basket.
17-66 from the floor and 8-37 behind the arc, there's your game.
I thought he had terrible personnel combos in all game and was running terrible actions. There was nothing to execute. The dude has a couple good zone busting options to put in the middle and he didn't go to it at all. There's ways to scheme easy entry passes into the middle of a zone which collapses the defense. I just saw Izzo basically trying to get them to simply power through the zone which doesn't work. You have to move it around and force rotation from the weakside help.
