Dead on, Tom.

We needed to get exposed like this, IMO. 60% (counting MM) of this team are playing for the first time in JB's system. The first 4 games were fool's gold. This team needs to learn quickly that the formula S Car used is pretty much what they are going to face for most of the season. SCar was exceptionally good on D, but it is a mistake to think that we don't play at least "8" other teams that will play that type of D just as hard and just as well  - Vir, L'ville (2x), Wiscon, VaTech, Miami, Pitt (2x)...NCar?

To expand on your thoughts: Dribble penetration, some inside scoring, interior defense, and TL becoming the Man will be the story line of the season. This is, overall, one of the most offensively skilled teams JB has ever had, with 7 guys who can score double digits on any given night. This team will take time to gel, but will be a lot more effective come March.

As an aside, when was the last time we lost a "tournament" game in November? I don't know the answer, but it seems like a rare occurrence.
