Disaster averted.
We had no idea what defense we were in on the 3 that tied the game in OT. Some playing zone, some playing man. That was brutal. I just knew they would get an open 3 and make it.
That said, I'm not going to bitch overall. We may not be very good. We were certainly overhyped. Our freshmen were certainly overhyped. But we may have played harder tonight than we have all year.
I thought even Mitchell played really hard. He did stupid things, but frankly I'm now resigned to the fact that he's going to do stupid things. Just play hard. I'm resigned to the fact that we can't shoot. Fine, I'm over it. Just play hard and rebound. I thought we did both.

Williams from Ole Miss was surprisingly good. I haven't seen them much this year so maybe he's been playing well overall. But I didn't know what Ole Miss had outside of an athletic, big, frontcourt, and he was kind of a difference for them. If he continues to play well they could be a tourney team.
Their point guard doesn't seem like a point guard. Again, for whatever reason I've seen them less than pretty much any team in the SEC this year. But he's not a good enough ball handler.

I'm still going to complain about the offense having absolutely zero identity.
The freshmen are good players. They just aren't the type that should be in the NBA right now like what UK buys.
They did play hard in the 2nd half and OT, so that's a good sign. They played hard against Arky too. Even Mitchell. Hopefully this week of practice was a reality check for him.
