Do we need to change our style or something? Fast pace basketball is so much fun to watch though.

Defensively, we absolutely need to change our style. Full court pressure doesn't work anymore...not like it used to, IMO. Big guys aren't afraid to bring the ball up the court these days, much less a d1 level guard.

I haven't seen anything this year, but my biggest gripes have always been the defensive strategy. Too many times we'd be trapping a guard 50 ft from the basket with a big man, he'd blow by our big, and we'd give up a wide open layup or 3. When it works, great. We get to get out in transition and get an easy basket. But it doesn't work enough for that to be a legit strategy in 2015. It puts too much pressure on your defense.
