I think the reason it worked so well tonight was because the Fla State bigs had to guard Eddie and Jyare.  Both of them had already been established offensively.  So they couldn't leave them to pick up Starling, if he got around the corner past the guy guarding him.

If you haven't show you can score in the low post (and we weren't hitting outside shots), that wouldn't work.  You only get the lanes to drive when some other part of your offense also requires attention.  Otherwise people can sag off you and take away the drive.

Yes, I agree with you; the scheme should establish an inside game, to set up 3 point shots after passing inside-out.  Then, when the defense starts rushing out to cover your shooters, that's when the driving lanes opened up.  We had a few 3's in the first half, and Eddie was unstoppable.  That's what made the driving lanes possible later on.

We need to be able to do all those things if we want to be good again.
