I'm sure most of us will be happy to read Jason Arkley's most recent column. Nice to hear that defense is the focus.

That is a really good focus and the article brings to mind the glaring deficiencies over the last few years. Screen and roll D with no one hedging and the defender trailing through the screen. Game planning what it takes to avoid the mismatch and how to treat each action and then getting guys to execute the plan. On Ball closeouts and weak side help and recovery. I am glad the emphasis is here and a focused approach the defining the system is in place. Building skills and an identity is pretty heady and awesome stuff. Seems like Tony's comments show the team has buy in and are embracing the lessons. THere is fire power on the O end to spare. Points are available in many ways with this personnel. This is a great article and a great start.


never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....

The game loves and rewards those who love and reward the game

I remember the North Dakota State fan that came on here during the Year of Bean and explained how Saul rebuilt the program after taking over and how we should be patient. If memory serves me he said he isn't going to coach the players into changing their spots but he will recruit kids that fit exactly what he wants to do and I think that's what we see happening. He mentioned that the defense took a few years to develop but that during his last year there the defense was part of the team identity.

I can't wait to watch this team. It's going to be night and day compared to year one of Saul. Last year was the preview, I think this year we see what it's really all about.

I checked out KenPom and it did take him some time to get the defense in order.
