Not trying to hijack thread (but I cannot post new posts) so...

One thing that I have noticed in the last 3 games is, like everyone else has noticed, is that our depth is outstanding and that we have a lot of guys that have bball talent (not always the case).

I think it has to be very tough for opposing teams to (a) scout us, and (b) figure out how to defend us. If you are an opposing coach what do you do? Press doesnt seem to work, zone doesnt seem to work, man doesnt seem to work, uptempo is a death knell for other teams. Maybe slow down four corners type stuff? And how do you attack us? There is virtually nothing inside. This is probably the longest team I can ever remember. So instead of worrying about what we do against others...think about how other teams look at us. I have now seen UNC, Kentucky, Kansas, Duke and Uconn play (in addition to OSU) and frankly other than UNC, I am wondering how those teams stop us (and given they dont shoot it great...I wonder even how they beat us).

One thing that I love right now is how relentless we are especially on the offensive boards. Usually against smaller teams in the past we have struggled, but we have taken these teams so far out to the woodshed. Everyone wants to get theirs and show they belong. We really have some nice problems.
