John Gallagher thinks Huskies are better than Kansas

Here's a good clip of what our offense might do against an aggressive switching/ball denial defense with someone sagging off Clingan/Johnson. Also could be why Gallagher considers us the best.

Our team is pretty unique in that we have enough high IQ passers/cutters to make a cut-heavy offense work. I love back-cutting versus pressure but it doesn't REALLY seem to work more than a few times a game for most teams. Our guys have the chops to pull it off. We're really dangerous versus pressure and presses.

It's just crazy because this was beautiful execution (to the point where a mistake by their D was inevitable at some point). But it's not even our main offense. It's just like a random sub thing we can do vs. some looks. We're not Princeton or whomever where this is every possession.

Our scheme "bag" is so big.

This. It's not anyone aspect of our scheme it's that it can beat you a lot of different ways and is unrelenting. Yes it's physically tough for a lot of teams to match up with us, but it's mentally tough for everyone who plays us.
