Let’s face it, in the Land of College Basketball, offense appears to be the king.
It’s offense that leads the highlights on the nightly wrap-up shows. It’s another 30-point performance by Markus Howard or Myles Powell that dominates the conversation the next day. It’s watching Creighton fire three-ball after three-ball in true Bluejays’ “let-it-fly” style that is adored by the 17,000-plus fans that witness each Creighton home game.
Defense? When’s the last time some TV talking head led with a great steal, a clutch rebound or a majestic blocked shot? OK, maybe a little more lately on that blocked shot thing, thanks to Seton Hall’s Romaro Gill.
