Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 2319516, member: 2117"] I think a better team to compare the starting 5 to would be the 2013-14 Huskies. Both teams had a limited bench which led to starters logging more minutes (30-32/game.) I'm fairly confident the 2016-17 one looks better statistically than 2013-14 if you're analyzing points, rebounds, assists, FG%, etc but the 2014 squad was one of the best defensive teams ever, holding opposing teams to: 47.8 points (only 3 teams all year cracked 60) 31.0% FG 26.3% 3pt Blocking over 8 shots per game Compared to the 2017 Huskies where they gave up: 54.9 points (12 teams scored 60 or more, 2 broke 70 and Maryland broke 80) 35.1% FG 27.6% 3pt Blocked 5 shots per game Steals and turnovers skew toward 2017's favor, but I don't think anyone will argue that the 2014 starting 5 was a much stronger defensive unit than 2017.
