I don't know enough about basketball to say for certain, but that's what it looked like to my untrained eye.
I think the pack line might be our achilles heel. Texas Tech smothered us with it back in JB's last game. We had trouble with Illinois' defense last year, and Louisville also had great success running it against us. I know Virginia does too, and I'm willing to bet that isn't anything close to an exhaustive list.
We were lucky enough to learn our lesson in what will likely end up being an inconsequential manner. But if I'm Juwan and co, figuring out how to beat the pack line needs to be my #1 focus going into the Big Ten Tournament, post-MSU.
