They play no D.
This is the biggest difference from McDermott. Last year they were terrible on offense and mid-pack defensively. This year its pretty much the opposite. We certainly aren't going to have a 36.6% eFG% against them like we did last year in Manhattan.
With the new talent, Hoiberg will have them better, but their ceiling next year is probably to be similar to this year's Colorado if he doesn't change his style which I doubt he does.
