I would say it depends on the system. People think it’s all effort and conditioning on defense but there’s a lot more to it than that. It’s a true team chemistry issue as well. Have to get everyone in perfect synchronization on d. Yesterday at half Tom Crean actually made a good point, said Big Rob was the best talker on d in the B12. The comms aspect of defense is crucial.

I just watched Iowa State come within a fingernail of being the best team coming put of the Maui Invitational Tournament. The total gutting of Colorado was a sight to be seen. The Buffalo's looked like they wanted no part of the bludgeoning that was to come in the 2nd half.
We should prepare now for when cu beats us in a game..hard to won 3 against same opponent, especially with our style of defense a team starts to figure out.
A few comments from the Buff's message board. 
"Cyclones just throwing up prayers and getting every one answered. They may be my new most hated conference opponent."
"ISU is REALLY good. That said, I fear this is more what we're going to look like in conference play."
"Went to the Big 12 tourney last year and they made Jayhawk fans look pleasant by comparison."
