Mack is absolutely a disciple of the basketball school that says "Thou shalt need no other defense than correctly run man-to-man" -- the fact that we've seen so much 1-3-1 this season is pretty telling. In fact, I can't remember a Xavier team under Mack going to zone with as much regularity as this one has since conference play started. I think that's tantamount to an admission from Mack that these guys aren't a great fit for the packline.

It always been about not allowing the 3s to be taken, not about who is taking them. X needs to be better at mitigating three point shot attemptsBrown against Burton...Brown starting his dribble...He moves in, he pops up....SCOOORRREESSS!....LENNY BROWN!...XAVIER WINS IT!...THE MUSKIES WIN IT!...71-69...The UC Bearcats are #1 in the country, #2 in their OWN CITY! - Andy MacWilliams

Add in that Stain is not quick at getting back to his position after hedging(this does not mean he is not hustling), Xavier's defender has to wait longer in the paint before getting back into his normal position, thus leaving leaving a shooter open a tad longer. This leads to more open outside shots.
Balls of Steele!!
