Teams run alot of Euro principles against KU and screen and roll trying to get everyone out of the paint and running around screens.
Seems Self and co. just say "well, we're staying in the middle and make you make shots to beat us while we defend best we can out there

This is what scares me a little bit about this KU squad. All it will take in the tournament is for a team to get hot from outside shooting. Mclemore yesterday didn't look like he even wanted the ball late in the game yesterday.
Last year, I feel like KU could grind away with solid post play and a few good shooters to keep you in the game, and then in the second half they'd bury you. This year, I don't know... There's something missing. I really want to see Mclemore play with a mean streak in the tourney. He has to. And I wish they had just a little more offensive firepower in the low post.
