Great win today. This team is really fun to watch on both ends of the floor. I particularly liked how we attacked regardless of what defense Mich was in. After the game, DJO made a very telling comment. He said something to the effect “its pretty simple, we come down, try to get a paint touch and look for an open teammate”. The key word here is simple. There is no way Crean could have had this many new guys playing this well together this early. They’d still be trying to memorize all the set plays, they’d be thinking and not reacting. In my mind this is the way basketball is meant to be played. It’s a flow game, not like football. Last year you could attribute the offensive success to the fact that the big 3 knew each other so well. But maybe the offensive scheme should get more of the credit, at least its more evident this year. And these guys should get better as the year goes on and they play together more. I’m enjoying the ride.
