FGCU's athletics site is crashed right now due to the amount fo traffic! I was looking on it about an hour ago and now the site is down. Crazy good attention for them right now!

I can't watch FGCU without thinking this is Kampe's vision for Oakland. He has commented before he loves when the team is running up and down the floor, scoring like that, giving players freedom to create. That is some beautiful stuff when it's clicking. Obviously I'm sure the FGCU faithful probably also had to put up with a few games with a ton of turnovers and mistakes, but man if it isn't fun to watch right now.
This is so unreal. Congrats to that program. Wow!

It frustrates me that a team that wasn't even eligible until this year can do it, but our team we think so highly of can't give us this.

Loved this answer from Coach Enfield about his philosophy, as I see a lot of similarities in their philosophy with Coach Kampe's:That bolded/underlined part is the key. They have that freedom but it is within the system. How many times has Kampe said that? It does seem like their style of play is predicated on having a great point guard, as Coach Enfield noted it took a lot of turnovers from Brett Comer last year to get to where he is this year. They're pretty good defensively too it seems -- they've got some bigs who can block shots/alter shots -- but the core of their philosophy seems to be offensive-focused.

The big difference though just on first glance, maybe not on the stat sheet, is they can play way better defense then we can. Getting stops and creating turnovers helps them run that fast, high flying offense that is fun to watch. If we played better defense our offense would most likely improve

Played better defense? You mean ANY?
