Message: [QUOTE="Uconn10922, post: 5011957, member: 2074"] Personally I think on offense Hurley ups the tempo. He has very capable shooters as starters and reserves. They will get into their offense quicker and try to find the open shooter more deliberately. They will also utilize their increased athleticism. I think there is more of an emphasis on quick outlet passes leading to wide open 3s or at the rim finishes. If their sets break down I think you look to Mahaney, Ball, Stewart and Hass to go one on one. Reed can be a good option in the post for the second unit. On defense I think they become super aggressive. I think you start Samson so they can start the season as business as usual and familiarity and you let him be aggressive. If he gets a couple of quick fouls, no big deal you have Reed who is much less foul prone. Also, you let the guards apply increased pressure leading to turnovers and making it hard to get into the post. Again the depth on the wing and guard allows you to expend energy and fouls without it hurting you. I think this team leans into being aggressive on both ends and relies on depth each night to find the hot hand or overcome foul trouble. [/QUOTE]
