Two Weaknesses Needing a Fix

What did you see with your eyes against St. John’s?

Excellent defense, that's 1 game

What if my eyes tell me this team has a top 10-15 defense?

Numbers can be deceiving. Do you really think the defense is good at keeping their man in front of them? How many layups have we given up because of poor defense.

I think the back2back teams had multiple go to guys. Hawkins, Sanogo, Spencer, Newton. This team really has no one that can confidently take a shot with the game on the line. Maybe Karaban? Mullins hasn’t shown enough. Ball isn’t consistent enough.

If you are going to put Sanogo in there you need to mention Reed as a go to guy. Also, Demary has shown in games. I really don't see much difference between those teams besides maybe more refined roles which might come as we get close to March. I have confidence in Hurley with this team in making a run. The talent is there.

The second one was an issue for seton hall game but has not been a season long issue. Lack of back door cutters except alex has been a problem. Perhaps this is step one to fixing, now ball handlers need to look for it. Newton and cam were exceptional passers. Silas etc need to develop this skill

Leading the conference in assists.

I answered. U C O N N. I don’t really like Duke. In fact, I despise Duke. I just goof around. Now it’s tourney time, and time to be serious, because we have a legit shot at 3 titles in 4 years. If we play Duke, my money is on us.

I too dislike Duke as many do here but they are pretty much crushing their opponents home and road in the ACC which if you believe ESPN is predicting 8-9 bids. What does that mean?
I’m not smart enough basketball wise to know. Same for Arizona and Michigan. We have had some impressive performances but many very close games in a league getting 3 bids?
