And I think this year's team is much better built for a deep run.

Take last night's game, for instance. Last year's team would've really struggled with their long PF/C who Haarms & Harward simply outworked & outbodied.

And their long, skilled wings (the two blondies, especially the new BC transfer) — they woulda hurt us a lot worse last year than they did last night. Those dudes were both pretty good athletes. We had no one like a Gideon or Lohner even on the roster last year to given them some issues.

Honestly --as one article mentioned-- the USF team that beat us on the road last year was NOT as good as the team we just beat last night on the road.
