We did a better job of working the ball inside and then back out for a 3 last night. I also saw some skip passes, which they weren’t doing at all early in the season. I didn’t get to watch much of the Vandy game but it seems like we always struggle to shoot in that weird gym. If you look at the second half against SC, the UK game, and last night, you can see some improvement over what we were doing offensively. I just hope the trend continues. With our D it won’t take much more improvement for us to be a F4 contender. I believe we’re a S16 level team now, meaning that’s our ceiling. We still have almost 2 months before the dance. That’s plenty of time to improve even more.
I know our fans think it’s easy but he has to consider a lot of things when deciding who to play. Who fits well together, how to not wear our guys out over a long season, rewarding guys for effort, who matches up well against a particular opponent, and more. Now he gets paid very well to make those decisions. I’m just saying it isn’t easy. I get frustrated with his decisions on who to play at times too but ultimately I trust our HOF coach knows better than I do who should be playing.
