Balance is what we all strive for in life, not being too reliant or dependent on one thing to the point where we're lacking too much in other areas. College basketball teams aim for the same type of stability by trying not to lean too heavily on one player or a certain aspect of the game.

That's all great in theory, but reality often takes over and tilts things heavily in one direction or another.

That's what has happened with some Division I teams so far during the 2016-17 season. Try as they might not to let this happen, they've become somewhat one-dimensional and thus in a position where they face real trouble if their lone key attribute or contributor flounders.
