We give great physical effort in ways, but refuse to do the little things right and play as a team, which is part of giving great effort mentally. 
 

We don’t have enough guys who will just catch a pass, and immediately reverse it or move it. Everyone wants to be the guy to make the play off of a ball screen or something. We’re very one dimensional. You just handle our ball screens as a team, then close out comfortably. 

 

One tangible intangible is we're 296th in Div 1 in KenPom's minute continuity which is a way to quantify how many minutes you bring back from last year. Minnesota is the next lowest at 169. (Wisconsin is #17)

 

Teams that bring in a lot of high level talent can live with flipping their rosters over.  This season where you didn't have the same amount of prep time might explain why teams like Duke and Kentucky are struggling because they still need to piece all that talent together.

 

We aren't going to out-talent anyone so mentality and team effort are what we need to to improve on if we want to win some games this year and lay a blueprint going forward. We're going to bring in some talent next year but if it's not attached to a solid base we're just going to have the same problems again.
