If you have talent, what difference does the style of offense make?  It's 
like saying that a man trained in Isshinryu karate is superior to one 
trained in Taekwondo (or vice-versa).  Style is not the issue.  Execution 
is.  We can't execute well enough in the Big 10 and rarely have.  It's the 
absence of talent that is the issue.  There is nothing now and never has 
been anything intimidating about the Northwestern basketball team:  no 
enforcer inside, no slasher outside, no deadeye three-point shooter, no 
bench to wear you down.  We always have to play a slowdown type offense 
because we're not good enough to run anything else.  Talent:  Get some!
