We've been a completely different team since then. More effort on defense, sharing the basketball, actually out rebounding teams. I think he got up in their arse and asked them why the hell they're even playing the game if they're not going to give effort. Gotta keep this good mojo going with a win on Wednesday.

I think he just said....hey, lets try zone defense....and ba-bam.

Trying to press and play man was not working for us.

Zone defense with this rotation is beasting.

I agree with you both. The team, especially our 1st yr juco players, seem to have found their 2nd wind.

I admit, I had not been impressed with MA this season but since halftime at LSU he's been a completely different coach. He's coaching with some fire and the team has responded with high quality play.

Keep it up we could advance deep into the SEC tourney and make a run at the Sweet 16 if the seeding works out in our favor.
