Even though they're playing an Akron team that is a couple players down with the flu, they're still giving it to a tournament team wire-to-wire.
They don't do it with the huge post players we think we need, as they appear bereft of anyone over the 6'8" Club.
They don't HAVE to do it with 3-point precision apparently; they only made 5 attempts in the first half.
They do it with a two-plus deep of relentless ball demons that refuse to give another team's offense a moment's peace and substitute so liberally it doesn't affect their offensive spacing/sets/passing, which leads to energetic dribble drives and high percentage mid-range jump shots.
For anyone who wonders how close we are... I'd say about 6 or 7 guys. That brings some peace of mind to me that Grant's philosophy isn't lacking as much as his bench, and I think that's something that can be changed rather quickly.
