I honestly think we are who we are and can't change.  Hope the D can be better being one year older and stronger.  Hope guys hit their shots with the usual iso dribble and chuck offense.  Press and run a bit more now having more than 6 bodies.  Everyone who gets minutes should know JB's defense well and our rotations.

Its not like we came back vs UVA by moving the ball around like Princeton.  We just hit tough shots in their face.  That is how we will have to beat good teams sadly.

Other thing is our offense has its flaws but the system we play should work pretty well if we have the lead.  We will get points off turnovers and force teams into mistakes and guys will hit shots.

No game in the ACC will be easy.  Keeping teams in the 40s and 50s will be key.  In 2009 we were offense first sweet 16 team and JB rededicated himself to the zone the next summer and we had our best team since 2003 being a D first squad.

Again despite the flaws we should be a pretty good team when playing with the lead I think we'll be pretty tough to come back on to be honest when we are dialed in and playing hard.  Question is will we play that hard.  Can we match VT or Clemson's intensity when they go up against a big name team?  CAn we not coast vs BC or ND?  Thats my worry.
