tendency to turn the ball over. They make a lot of very risky passes and many of them are less than 50/50 chances. Granted when they work, they look great but in tight games like they had against Arkansas, they just aren't smart or appropriate.
As far as depth, they have two bigs that play pretty well in 6'10 Walters (transfer from Alabama) and a holdover from last year, 6'8 Wil Tschetter. Both shoot over 40% from beyond the arc and Tschetter is often a spark off of the bench. It's the guard lack of depth that often hurts them. Outside of starters Donaldson and Gayle, the rest of the guards are pretty average and not much of an impact.
They do have a very good coach in Dusty May and I like the style of play he coaches (on both ends). I expect them (at least for the sake of my Michigan wife)to be very competitive this year, much more than last year.
