kryptonite that can beat them. This team can beat you in a lot of different ways on offense and is now good enough on D and the boards to cash it in on most nights.
08-09 couldn't play at a slow pace and beat average or better teams in the half court game.
11-12 struggled against longer teams, especially on defense. That might have been one of the worst ever defensive teams to get a top 2 seed in the NCAA tournament (111 in Kenpom).
The 12-13 team might have been the most complete team from that aspect but at times played below potential and wasn't deep, especially with Bowers banged up at times. I guess with good guard play and a solid front line they didn't really have specific kryptonite to beat them, but they were just kind of an average NCAA tournament team and at time would go as Pressey went.
