One-dimensional teams

In the heyday of Creighton's coach's son, they were amazing on offense, but sad on defense. Each year reveals several teams that are brutal on defense, but just can't score. Some teams can shoot the lights out, but never met a rebound they liked. Some teams can run and press, but are hurting when they have to play a half-court game. Some teams live by the 3, and die by it, because they do not have a Plan B for those cold shooting nights

Teams cannot afford to be one-dimensional. It is OK to hang your hat on a particular aspect of the game in which you excel, but you cannot put ALL your eggs in one basket.
