Fresno State DePaul Final: Aggressive Defense Meets Deep Injury Question
Fresno State brings a disruptive trio of defenses led by a flexible 2-3 that resembles a 1-1-3, man-to-man, and a hard-to-spot matchup zone. They pressure ball handlers to trap playmakers, challenging DePaul’s Kenny Patterson who is limited by a bruised knee. DePaul relies on patterned offense to counter, while aiming to avoid falling below 38 percent shooting as they seek the NCAA final in New York with a large Fresno booster presence.
