he needs to touch the ball once on the block every possession or every other and let him size up the situation

This. Good things happen when Miller gets the ball. At many points in the second half vs Texas Ollie had the guards dump it down from the wing to Miller in the post to go to work. He gets high percentage shots or gets fouled (shoots 75% from the line). Basketball is played inside-out. It's a nice break seeing him get it in the post as opposed to us swinging the ball aimlessly around the perimeter.

Amen.

That, combined with our wings' willingness to catch-and-shoot instead of pump-faking themselves into worse looks were keys to the win. It's nice to see the team evolve and adjust, and that was a damn good win.
