Indiana State coach Greg Lansing is having his team practice five against six to prepare for Syracuse's 2-3 zone defense.

“You try and simulate whatever you can. Whether it’s six guys in our zone or having the guys shoot over a stick off of a drive or a post move. We’ve done it before, but we have to break it out this week. We have to try a little bit of everything," Lansing said.

"I mean they have four or five guys with seven-foot wing spans that just intimidate you," Lansing added. "It's a beast. We haven't really seen that kind of length this season."

Indiana State will play Syracuse on Friday in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
