People need just a little perspective.  Virginia is the #3 team in the nation -- they have one of the better defensive teams in the country, and they have a couple of guys who shoot from NBA distance.  And our guys hung in that game, battling to the end, with the difference coming down to a stretch of 3 or 4 long range 3s by U VA.

We run the iso stuff this season because that is what our trio of scorers can do best.  It gives this team its best shot at success.

Next season -- well, you might consider that Bazley is the #10 recruit in the nation, is in the 6ft 8 in range, with offensive skills, can play either forward position.  Carey is a combo guard.  Buddy looks like a classic shooter -- good form.  Add Hughes and it is a very good recruiting class.  With a better combination of skills on the floor, why would you expect the offense to resemble what JB has to do this season, with only 3 scorers and no genuine options?

I wonder how much some posters have seen of SU's offense over the seasons, depending on whether we had a nice blend of talent (the Wes Johnson season with Andy Rautins, and two talented bench players), or strong guard play (MCW as a soph with Triche), or strong post offense (Rak's senior season).  JB adjusts to what he has.
