kwyjibo Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 You just have to love sportswriters. Andrew Beaton (I didn't make that name up) offered this incredible insight in the Wall Street Journal yesterday: "North Carolina, its Final Four opponent, overcomes defensive deficiencies by trying to outscore all of its opponents." It is not just a stupid take--it is a completely wrong take. Yea, North Carolina has the most efficient offense in the country and play at a reasonably high tempo but they are also very good at defense (21st in Pomeroy's efficiency ratings). I was looking yesterday because Caputo was in charge of Miami's defense which was also A+ excellent but masked somewhat by playing at high tempo against a lot of good offenses.

bonwich Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I just thought that it rated right up there with the immortal quote by Dick McDonald: "If we get a few wins under our belt, I think you'll start to see our record improve." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
