Not sure what your point is here. Our opponents’ offenses are destroying us because our defense isn’t good enough. When another team gets a lead on us it’s bad news because we can’t string together stops. We can only improve marginally on offense, but our defense is miles behind contending teams. If we get Butler and Robinson back, our offense might get a small efficiency boost, but nothing that will compensate for our mediocre defensive efficiency. We can’t bear down and get a stop like other teams can, we just have to hope the opponent misses their higher quality looks and we make our lower quality looks.
IF we get healthy, I do think we can make a sweet sixteen and even a final four if we get a favorable path and play our best games in the tourney. I’m just not counting on it with the defense we have.
I’ll be cheering them on until the end, whenever that may come. Hopefully it’s with a healthy Butler and Robinson.
