If we rebound better we can get some transition back into our offense. We have stopped running as we can't rebound well anymore in the zone.
 
We also haven't had a point guard who could run a competent fast break since either MCW or Scoop. Ennis refused to run and the other guys since then couldn't.

We start off with a handicap because of our inability to get easy baskets. In what might be a first, our "easy baskets" this year came in the form of foul shots, where we are uncharacteistically good.

The key to our zone and our defensive rebounding has always been having a strong rebounding 3. If we have a 3 that gets killed on the boards, we aren't going to a good rebounding team.

Might also be a last. If you remove Gillon and White (guys from outside our program) the team FT% was .656. That would be good enough for last place in the ACC.
