Indeed.
(1.) W's are W's, home or road. I like Hilton Magic, too, but we seem to have this unique thing as a fan base where we count
home wins more than road wins. Nobody else does.
(2.) I remember Hoiberg teams with some awful dry spells, too.
The advanced metrics say our offense is just as good/if not better than under Hoiberg, and the defense is actually slightly better than it was under Hoiberg.

Look at the ADJO and ADJD ratings and rankings and tell me what you see.
(3.) Oh yes, that Baylor game...

We never had teams go on runs on us or have bad losses under Saint Fred of Lincoln.
(4.) We run a ton of PnR, just like we always did, and forced switches onto mismatches that we try to exploit, and usually have somebody go 1v1 at the end of the shot clock.
That is 75% of college basketball offenses nowadays.
See the efficiency numbers again. Prohm had the #9 offense in the nation last year.
(5.) Meh. Everybody is kind of discombobulated to start the season.
(6.) I thought these were fun.
This was a heck of a lot of fun, too...
You know what was not fun? Losing to a bad South Carolina team in New York.
We can both cherry-pick highlights and lowlights. The fact we can speaks to the similarities.
