Being curious doesn't make you a bad fan, it's the obnoxious complaining and whining. Ennis is a great college point guard who has shown throughout his high school, aau, and even here that he can do more than fine in an uptempo game.  Running a good fast break or uptempo style doesn't necessarily mean it's the fastest, it's about who can run a fast break to get the best shot as possible against an unsettled defense. Something Ennis does very very well.

In regards to tempo, we do a great great job at causing turnovers. The reason we don't have as many possessions is because teams use a lot of the shot clock against us because our zone is so good that they can't get a quick easy shot very often. As a result they use a lot of clock thus reducing the amount of possessions. In a situation where we're down 10-12 with 5 mins to go in the tournament,  how many teams have a fool proof plan in place for that? Who can just dial up a press that would eliminate a ten point hole at the snap of a finger and if they do why not use it the whole game? Good shots and stops are more valuable than fast shots and opportunistic risky defense. If you want to see a team run all over and go crazy go root for Memphis and enjoy their first weekend exit from the tournament every year.
