Because we have the Tim Floyd factor and no one else does. Never count out this guy or his teams. Because we have one of the best recruiting classes in the nation and some returning players who may surprise some people. Because when I hear people say this team has more offensive talent than the past years, I smile. With the current system in place, defense is a given.
Offensive production is merely an added bonus.
But more important, because our players are winners at every level. Never underestimate players who understand how to win. I've heard the doubters ask if we will be any good this year and whether they should buy season tickets.
