That trade off always existed - I do hate the thought that we just transitioned from, "man, we lost ugly...," to, "eh, I like rooting for this group, we lose fun."

That fun tends to dissipate against more athletic teams - luckily our schedule has opponents of that nature in shorty supply.  If the enjoyment is that we can route the **** out of mid-majors, that's not an overall positive IMO.  The one weapon we had was that we sucked, but our defense could throw off other power teams in the tourney.  It also kept games against crap teams close - but now, I'm not sure what we have other than losing pretty.  Which is pretty much Notre Dame's philosophy on basketball.

Again, very curious on next year and how the rotation shakes out, but having a PG/SG combo of this ilk, if the minutes continue, is going to be problematic IMO.  I suppose if it balances out and we can get the defensive kicked back up - we're okay, however, in spite of the glorious numbers we're going to see on scoring efficiency I think we're going to have issues.
