Message: [QUOTE="dollarbill44, post: 189919, member: 686"] The mix needed to beat us appears to be a team with at least 2 hot 3 pt shooters, a PG who can drive and find the back-door cutters who can actually finish consistently. I don't think too many teams have that combination. It doesn't appear to be enough to just have 3 point shooters, or just be able to dribble-drive and dish low. You need to have a consistent combination of them all. If someone wants to play helter-skelter defense and try to smother us, they better be able to go 8-10 deep because we will wear them down. I think the best chance someone will have is to be able to beat us back down the floor and play a sagging man or tight zone and hope we can't hit any open 3s. Lately, that's been a pretty good strategy, but as UConn found out, if we get hot for just 2:00, we can open up a big lead in a hurry. Do we have weaknesses? Sure, but I think we have enough strengths to go pretty far. [/QUOTE]
