Good for Dwight. I could not watch any of the games, but I am curious as to why they are giving up so many points?

Matt,
They are playing Mike D'Antonio ball at a high pace. Lots of possessions.
I forgot to Tivo the last two games so I haven't seem them either.

That I undersatnd, but Weren't they supposed to combine it with Duke's defense?

Yes they were but there is not a lot of perimeter defenders on the squad. And that 3 point line is 3 FEET SHORTER than the NBA.
They are making up for lack of defensive ability by playing twelve deep and wearing out the opposition.
They are playing o.k. so far but could be in for a big shock once they get past the preliminary round.
