Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 4887285, member: 175"] i was having this conversation recently too. All five starters (and Diarra) aren’t just good passers - they seem like they all genuinely love to pass, and I haven’t seen many teams like that. I still remember game one against Northern Arizona, Cam, our hired gun, came out turning down good looks and dropping dimes and Hurley praised him repeatedly after. Then Newton, with 31, didn’t take a hero shot and found Cam for a great look at Kansas. It missed, but I thought about how much that would help building culture over the long term (“It’s not about me. I trust my teammates to make the shot or the play.“). Perhaps we’ll need a brief selfish streak from someone with a hot hand or a matchup to exploit. But it isn’t our default mode. [/QUOTE]
