      We have the athleticism to do what the Pacers have done to every team they’ve played in the playoffs. Run, run, run until they get too tired. Full court defense on their best player all game long. Push the ball as fast as possible. Lots of movement and minimal dribbling on offense.

      I think this could be a winning strategy for us. Of course, I don’t know if we have the horses for this, because I haven’t seen any of them play, but if we can limit turnovers and play at a break neck pace, that can neutralize the talent deficit we will face against many Big12 teams.

      Last year we were most successful when we played that style of offense with Mike at point guard.

        Man, watching this team is so much fun. It is a completely different experience than watching them play the Heat over and over in the ECF. With that team, every offensive possession felt like pulling teeth. We were intentionally slowing games down hoping we could lean on David West for buckets. With this team, its all about having fun, pushing the pace, and being as pesky as possible on defense. I friggin love it.

        I have no connection to Indiana, but I’ve been a fan since I was a little kid because of the Reggie/Smits combo on NBA jam. Been a huge fan ever since.
