This season I've noticed that in our losses and close games the opposing team has had a big scorer. Some of them having career highs. Quickly browsing the stats I came up with this:
Temple-Christmas 35(CH)
Marquette-Matthews 30
Gonzaga-Bouldin 26(CH), Daye 20
Kansas-Collins 26, Aldrich 22
Belmont-Renfroe 30
Meeks for KY has 26 in the 1st half. More scorers above may have had career highs, I just can't remember if they did or not but I know Christmas and Bouldin did.
We are giving up too many points to the shooters. The big guys aren't tearing us apart; it's the shooters. I think come tourney time this is going to be a huge, huge weakness. Teams seem to be playing their best against us every night.
