4 seniors (3 fifth year seniors at that) out of 9 scholarship players (not including Moyer who is redshirting) is probably more experience than most top echelon teams have during these one/two and done days.  Even our two sophs have final four experience on their belt so I would argue that is actually the perfect mix of vets to neutralize your talented youth.

I think the big thing that our fans see that gives us so much optimism this year is the balance that we bring to the table.  We've got quality shooters, penetrators, and bigs (not quite there yet with our post scoring but hopefully will get there) that allow us to play a variety of styles against teams.  The last few years other than '09 and '12 (our two best regular seasons) our teams were significantly lacking in 1 or 2 of those categories and we still managed win a lot of games and reach 2 final fours.  Our depth may not be as deep in numbers as the '12 team but due to position flexibility we can have so many combinations of 5 with our 9 guys that allows us to play big, small, shoot, press, etc. so this brings on a lot of excitement for this season.
