Three games into the season, it’s clear that this is not last years team. BaylorVision’s broadcasts have almost been at pains to make this point, but something is worth discussing beyond who is and isn’t on the roster.
The style of play thus far has shifted in some interesting directions. Even comparing like to like (early season games against lower division opponents), this seasons team is more movement-oriented in just about every sense of the word on offense. Players are moving and cutting more in the half court, the Bears have pushed more in transition, and the ball is absolutely zipping around all over the floor trying to find the guy cutting to the lane.
