Hmmm.  I definitely expect the offense to improve like you say.  Dramatically.  If it doesn’t improve much then I believe OttoMets is correct in terms of Boeheim truly valuing defense more than offense resulting in continued poor details, fundamentals, and pedestrian scheme.  More rock fights which truly would be sad.

I’m not so sure re: Tourney.  We had Marek play well and make some surprising shots but the offense was terrible.  One could argue the pace was even slower.  Literally let the clock go down to 10 or below and let Tyus or Oshae do something hopefully good.  What truly benefited us, IMO, was the setting and teams unfamiliar with the zone.  Turnovers yes but a product more of unfamiliarity and not necessarily ‘forced’ ones.  TCU had Dixon but those kids barely saw any zone all year.  I was at the ASU game and when they moved the ball/probed properly they got some good stuff.  But, too often, they fell into the trap of simply passing side-to-side then launching.  They barely saw any zone all year, though.
