This team is high floor... low ceiling unless they can reduce the variance in offensive productivity. I don't see us having many What the heck games as long as the D effort is there and based on what we have seen so far, I have no reason to doubt that the D will show up every game.

Keys to success:
- Avoid turnovers and  that lead to run outs/easy buckets for the other team. With our lack of scoring a couple of turnovers and a mini-6 point run against us is going feel insurmountable. What kept Tennessee in the game in the 2nd half was turnovers. What lead to Iowa State blowing us out was turnovers.
- Avoid tip drill plays where the opponent gets 3/4 offensive rebounds in a play and end up with a wide open 3
-  Find ways to get 15 to 20 points a game from easy buckets whether it's off of fast breaks or set plays that lead to an easy shot
- Minimise the 4/5 minute stretches w/o a hoop... Otherwise we will have nights when the other team is hot and we will go 2 for us 3 for them or 0 for us and 3 for them and it turns into an avalanche like happened against Iowa State

For once we are not going to e out athleted... it really comes down to finding some semblance of execution on offense
