With how ugly that tournament was, we have a top 10 offense but an 82 defense. That’s a heck of a lot of room for growth.

that's what gets me about so many people complaining about what we need to do to score more. We're scoring just fine, even if it's not the world-beating offense we're used to...it's the dumster fire on defense that's killing us.

If you want it even worse, if you include just the regular season data (discluding preseason bias), trank has us as #13 offense and #218 defense.

Frankly, I don't want to hear a word about what we want to do on offense until we get that straightened out.

The fact that we largely mailed it in vs Dayton didn't help. Team is in their own head now...and DH have to fix his own before he can help fix the team's.

Buddy of mine shared an interesting theory. Fewer teams seem to foul in the last minute, and the theory is that fouling late is more likely to turn an 8 point lead into a 14 point loss than it is to result in a win. KenPom and NET punish 10+ point losses, so a close loss is better than chasing a 10% chance of a win.
