(Maybe KCC could do some kenpom magic and see where that ranks... if they showed it, I missed it.)

Some people just aren't getting it. Bill Self has said it before. They help inside to prevent the easy basket and run out on the perimeter. Would you rather stop a 50% shot or a 35% shot first? It seems to work pretty well judging my KU's efficiency ratings. The whining about "perimeter defense sucks" is getting pretty old.
