Will we stay with what brought us?

This team did a lot of things well last season. When you are in the top 30 teams in a category, you are among the elite in that specific aspect of the game. We won 30 games last season because of our Scoring Defense (#4), FG Defense (#15),  Turnovers Per Game (#20) and 3-point FG% (#28). (All this is per College Sports Madness.) I can tell you that very few teams ranked that high in four separate categories. In short, the Trojans did a lot of things well last year, and it paid off in the win column, which it generally will. What makes these things even more remarkable is that except for the 3PT%, the other categories are not of the sort that makes kids excited,  because they are generally seen as contributing to a “boring” style of play. But we have six seniors who know that those things produced wins, and hopefully they will stay bought into what brought them to the Dance.
