Message: [QUOTE="jr4750, post: 1981386, member: 117"] agree. Defense is bad at the moment, but fine as a philosophy. It works very well when the players execute, which they haven't. Offense on the other end, is bad. Fraschilla said many times last night JB likes to keep it simple for the benefit of the players, so they stay loose. While that seems to make sense, it has hurt us at times, when we need to break through, and our guys aren't beating their men by shear athleticism and will. Ironic that like football, perhaps the way to go in college hoops these days is progressively offensive as opposed to defensive. The Pitt coach has made great strides there, and is known as an offensive guy. I watched them play against Maryland and they look very different then they used too. [/QUOTE]
