That’s pretty much correct and I think why they are so well run. They are like the Spurs, A’s, or Patriots in their known eras but the difference being that they are basically walled off from easy access to elite players (some by choice).
So even in a year where they have a flawed set of players for the modern game, they do everything else right and over the course of 35 games just win by playing optimally in most ways against teams that run at slightly less efficiency. Throw in a conference with no bad defenses (other than Iowa) and it looks god awful when they have the ball at times.
They’ll probably shoot 30% and get run out of the gym tomorrow and in the first or 2nd NCAA round but they are built to win a good % of games over the long haul.
