[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 870974, member: 4110"] I agree with Root that watching the NCAAT games certainly drives home the reasons why our team was a 20 loss team. Physically, our team certainly does not look like these NCAA teams. These teams are composed of thick, explosive athletes. These guys are buff. Actually, our skill level was not that far amiss, but these teams in the tournament have bull-strong athletes in both the back and front courts. I have seen posts complaining about our style of offense, but teams running similar stuff as we do dot the tournament. A big difference in this season compared to previous Pastner teams and compared to the NCAAT teams is our lack of rotation and weak side defense. Good teams rotate quickly and protect the paint much better than we did. Our defense would not have contained these teams. We would have held them to a low 3pt%, but they would have killed us inside. We had a bad year. The team was competitive and Usher was a pleasure to watch but we were not good. We may not have been awful, but we were not good. Even as an ACC team, I would have to say that we were a below average team taken across the college basketball landscape. Saying that is not a prediction of the future. I hope and expect that the deficiencies are identified and plans for correction are implemented with vigor. But we will certainly have to increase strength, thickness and explosiveness to compete with the kinds of teams that are winning in the tournament currently. [/QUOTE]
