Our Defense was at a different level last night. Don’t know what caused it but it was good to see. I’m not just talking about turnovers and steals, but our whole half court defense. Rotations were pretty good and we were quicker to the ball…The White kid got too many open looks and unless I am mistaken I think I saw Anderson really get on to Jones really hard about one play for sure. Think that Joe was on him after that…Joe is a lot better defender than he gets credit for…
Missouri’s is not very athletic, so our press really worked well against the Tigers. Many of the SEC teams won’t be fazed by the press, but last night it won the game for us. Credit Coach Anderson for bringing the full court press out of mothballs to turn the tide in the game.
We had scored 12 points the first 13 minutes of this game. We were on a pace to score 37 points the entire game. Let that sink in…
When we have Joe and Jones hitting the 3 ball, we are a pretty good team. When neither of them or only one of them is hitting…not so much.
