We’re not going to change our defensive identity at the end of the season.All I know is double teaming the best offensive teams is a terrible strategy

That's right, tj has us to the point where we are close, but we have to do both. Eventually you have to score. Can't just ignore it.Can't be one or the other. Need both.
Milan has a normal or avg game and we win by 8 or 9 pts. Which is insane given how we played in the 1st half.
What part do you actually disagree with? Elite offense is more important than elite defense to make the Final Four; 2 minutes of looking at KenPom previous years proves that.We have to get better offensively but the title of this thread is what I disagree with.
I was just going to post this...make even 5 of these and the game is extremely different.We did enough to win the game with our defense. We left 28 easy points on the court (11 for 25 at the rim).
They are equal. You need to be top 25 in both as most champions are. One is absolutely NOT greater than the other. You have to be able to do both.What part do you actually disagree with?

Yup, I hope he's smart enough to see it. We are getting there, but our scheme leads a lot to be desired.Yep, if TJ can improve our half court game, we definitely take the next step. It seems that's the next stage of growth in the program.
That's fine, but you have to do both.Cheaper and easier to coach up defense than it is to pull high level offensive talent out of the portal. Unless folks are willing to go in on NIL in a huge way I see ISU as always being defense first.

We can do this and that's great, if you want to be a national contender, you have to do both.
Next year is the year we can win a national title guys, it's on the table, but need the right guys in the portal.
They’re not equal- at all. Go graph the offense and defensive ranks of national champions for the last decade and tell me what you see.They are equal. You need to be top 25 in both as most champions are. One is absolutely NOT greater than the other. You have to be able to do both.
Uhh... statistics in trny over year has shown top 25 d and top 40 o.,.. so d is more important?Year after year March proves the deeper you get into the tournament the more important offense becomes. If you look at efficiencies, the national champion for the last decade has always been near the top 10 for offense, defense not so much. Now that TJ has had time to get his guys in the building I hope next year we can start to become a threat on offense to take the program to the next level.
