Not great team defense there.

Whatever, should be up by more, but I wouldn’t say I’m especially worried.

We need to clean up the rebounding. The shotmaking sort of is what it is. 31.3% from 3 with what felt like a lot of open 3s isn’t ideal.

To be up 10 and getting doubled up on rebounds ain’t so bad. Nate has plenty to harp on in the locker room.

I mean, surely it has to get better. We have too many good shooters for it to be bad 7-8 games in a row.

And just like in those other games, most of the missed ones have been good looks. The only one I didn't like was one Shack took early in the clock without much ball movement.

First 12-14 minutes were great. 50% from the floor and 40% from deep. We were really bad after that.

We're either going to win the national championship or lose a game because we just aren't making enough shots.

Same shite as OOC play. We're just playing significantly better defense than we were then. I know that based on shot quality we had overwhelming odds of winning our games against Stanford, Clemson, and WKU.

We shot 15 of 35, 42% for the half.
We, unfortunately, can still shoot worse.

Yep. I mean I'm not mad about it, our offense is way better than that bad 2 week stretch - just not making shots.

Just hope it comes back to us in the next week.

But I think the half kind of turned when Auburn made a defensive adjustment that took away JQ's drives to the basket.

I'm way closer to cloud nine than a ledge. I'm nitpicking a 10 point halftime lead on the heels of locking up a conference championship and preparing for a 2 seed in the NCAAT.

It feels good to be in this position with this basketball program.

Agreed. Honestly, we should kick this thing into overdrive at some point and run away with by 20+. I hope the guys feel the same way and make it happen.
