Of course there are exceptions to the above, like when we handled Stanford's big men with our quickness and big buts.

Yes, when the skill & speed are comparable then size can be the difference.
Dayton was efficient on offense and with a stable of play-making wings that AG alluded to, Flyers could be even more dangerous. With the steady diet of side PNRs AG's offense appears predicated on wings that can dribble, pass and shoot. Even with improvements on that side, any substantial gain in the win column will come from an improvement on defense. I'm curious to see how radically the defense looks. Being able to slow other teams at the point of attack will be early barometer for how the season will go.
