Last nights game checked a lot of boxes for our ceiling/chip chances:
Signature win vs a top 10 for seeding.
Castle returns in an effective 10 min. No reaggravation. (Btw I love how an NBA Lottery waiting room player is so into the game on the bench)
Spencer is now the vocal leader of this team, and has the authority to hold people accountable ala AJax. I say this because in the post game Cam really took his (self described) KU poor play personally, and held himself accountable. When he unleashed that anger on the court, I knew we were going to get the W. That is a bonafide leader right there.
Solo balled out, showing a couple levels of scoring.
Between the missed oops, missed FTs, and the wide open 3s we left a bunch of points on the floor.
Obvious things to work on:
3pt Defense. Feels like we have been giving up way too many open looks and have dodged some bullets here. I presume this gets considerably better with Castle out there.
