Message: [QUOTE="JoeySimz, post: 2664397"] You call our defense a “gimmick” and then list examples of it’s effectiveness. Lol. Our team definitely improved, despite injuries and virtually no bench. We were overwhelmed by Duke in the regular season and only lost by four in the tourney. Beat sparty too. Two teams many picked to be national champion. That is after strangling two of the highest powered offenses in the nation in TCU and ASU (to the lowest totals iirc) That was not a gimmick. It was intentional and it was smart coaching, that despite our relative offensive ineptitude we were able to impose pace, force turnovers, and low percentage shots on superior scoring teams. And this year with 3+ gifted offensive players joining the team along with a healthy Sidibe, we could be pretty good on both ends. [/QUOTE]
