Message: [QUOTE="REB1094, post: 4395325, member: 12147"] Agreed. Defense does win games but we've been a great defensive team for 2 years with major offensive limitations which led to 2 first round exits in March Andre is a great versatile defender. Hawkins showed signs at the end of last season of being a solid defender. Sanogo is Sanogo. Let's hope Newton and the PFs buy in and commit to defense. We won't be as good as last year defensively, but if we can be good enough then that's fine Using Kenpom, all champions over the last 5 years had a top 10 offense. Only one (Virginia in 2019) had a top 10 defense. Of course defense is critical and bad defensive teams won't win consistently, but in today's game offense is more important and I'd rather have great offense/decent defense than great defense/decent offense [/QUOTE]
