66 - 68- 63

That presser felt intentional. Crux in a season when you see what you have, and have to start pushing buttons. Kids either start responding or not.

Those are our point totals in the last three games. If we scored 70 in each we would be 3-0 in that stretch not 1-2. Our shooting has been closer to 40% than 50% in this stretch. These three games are the only times we haven't reached 70 except Dayton.

Offense -not defense- is the larger problem. This is NOT to say our defense has been great. It hasn't been. Too many open threes. Too many back doors and too many easy drives to the rim. But you don't advance in the NCAAs scoring in the 60s. Didn't we learn this lesson?

This team needs to have high scoring games b/c the defense is so bad. But, I don’t necessarily agree with your point on scoring in the 60s and advancing - often this is precisely how you beat teams considered better than your own. The final 3 games of both 2011 and 2014 never reached the 70s - the high was 65!
