I feel so bad right now. I'm not sure if this is sinuses or if I have Covid again. Whatever it is, it sucks.

We have Covid in the house today. Me and 2 of my boys. Not as bad as last time but I can’t rest. And have explosive runs like a Hendo hurry-up offense.

I hate this, I hope you feel better bud. And you know you’re my bud. Need anything? I only live 15 minutes away from Knoxville and I have apps on my phone to order you food. Yes, I’m being serious.
 
It is laughable.







But we know a few things are true, in any order:



> you have to have elite defense to force the other team to take low % shots



> you have to get lucky that the other team can't hit those low % shots



> you have to hit your high % shots, you have to have someone(s) that can hit key shots in big moments







I've seen teams win the rebound and turnover battle and still lose because they couldn't do those three things. I've seen teams that do those things for a whole season and have one off night cost them everything.







The first point has been a constant for us, the second point has worked in our favor thus far honestly, the third point is the one we struggle with. Maybe one of our guys turns into Mr. March and we get our clutch guy. Until we can make shots we have a glaring hole in an otherwise would-be elite team.
We play very hard on defense. I wonder if that takes away from our offense.
 
I know that is how you feel…. My standard is the same for Barnes as it was for cuonzo….. Peterson…. Houston…. Devoe… and every coach that we have from now on…. You are judged by how you do in March… I am appreciative of the stability… prestige… and character that Barnes brings to our program. He still needs to get over that hump to the next level.

Who says you are judged by how you do in March? Don't think I've heard that anywhere but here. At least not from anyone creditable. Oh, they may remember the run you had, but not necessarily that you were a great team.

In the last 5 years or so Loyola-Chicago, SC, and Syracuse have all made the FF. I don't remember hearing anyone talk about how great those teams were.
