We are not a Dick Bennett style team yet, but I am pretty amazed at the turnaround in very short time in becoming an offense-first team to a bunch of defensive junkyard dogs. The coaches must be doing one hell of a job. We just took 2 pretty darned good offensive teams in USF and SMC and held them WAY under their typical numbers; questioning themselves and looking shell-shocked.
GU has clearly been physically hurting, but somebody has given them some religion on defensive grit making up for other aspects of the game that might be handicapped. Even Coleman is playing good team ball, and Nunez has been a pleasant surprise.
If we keep playing like this, in 3 months we may be looking at our injury woes as a blessing in disguise.
