They absolutely did and any given night against any given opponent I felt Blaine had his team ready to compete and WE HAD A CHANCE. Dont feel the same way with Jeff leading us.

What game has been our best win in the Jeff Jones era? I have no memories...

Looking through the past schedules these are the best I could see.

Unranked LSU
#15 VCU (Rivalry Game)
Unranked Syracuse

3 games over 8/9 years. We've definitely regressed.

And, BT's guards had a much better assist/turn over ratio.

And they were coached on how to run a fast break. They were very good in converting turnovers to points. Sitting in on several of their practices, this was a point of emphasis for his teams.

BT knew his teams weren't going to out-shoot their opponents, so they had to generate points in other ways.
