Correct. It's not a consistent style of basketball.

LOL... I guees you forget how limited we are personnel wise. What "style" should we be using with a guard dominant lineup?? Our bigs consist of two freshmen and a sophmore; do you expect us to dump it down low the majority of the time, or to implement more zone on defense?? Believe me, when Pearl gets the athletes needed for his philosophy, we'll be more flexible in our half-court sets. But this season, it's what was necessary to succeed with our limitations and youth..

If everyone from Kansas stays they are better than us, Ohio State will be better than us, North Carolina will be better than us, and UCLA, Memphis, and maybe Texas if they keep everyone.

Depends heavily on defections, but KS will likely be stronger, UNC if Wright stays around, Gtown because they play strong D and have some studs returning. Off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone else that I would give an advantage over us on a neutral floor. UCLA might be better, but it's again attributable to Howland's D focus more than talent. If Duke's freshmen prove to be ready to play, they'll be very good, but will still have a PG that can't break down Ds.
OSU, without Oden, will rely on Conley penetrating and the 3, sound familiar? TX, without Durant, will be much like UVA was this year. Memphis will not be better than UT.
