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.
