Need to keep scoring the basketball for sure.  Last year was a bit of a surprise in terms of how good the shooting was (FTs too), albeit much of it was launching off of one pass and/or White bailouts with the shot clock running down.  I don't think it can be overstated how many tough and contested shots White made.  I don't think I've seen anything like it!  I'm very curious how the pieces will come together and what JB will come up with in terms of the identity of the offense.  The defense will be better I'm sure.  What I don't want to see however is a good defense  but a team that can't score.  We have seen that saga play out from mid-season Ennis until beginning of last season.  Even last year there were plenty of games we couldn't score, especially perhaps the most important one...Miami ACCT.  I personally hate seeing those games where the zone is confusing the other team as they are making dumb turnovers and just passing the ball around the perimeter.  We get up like 5-10 pts at H when it should be 20 because the offense stinks.  Then it is first team to 60 or 65 as we are hanging on for dear life because the other team figures it out.  Like you guys have been saying; it does seem that we are getting better offensively skilled players lately and moving forward.  This must be paramount!
