It looks like that will be dictated by whether we ever settle into a game or not. We've definitely had games where the clear objective was to feed Gafford or to work the ball inside in general, but we flat out panicked in the second half of this game. The offense morphed right back into what we complained about so much last season. The guards just standing around the perimeter passing it to each other until one of them jacks up a 3.

With the exception of Desi Sills, I didn't see anyone on the court make an effort to take the game inside repeatedly at all. Mike called a ton of timeouts to halt momentum, but there was zero visible difference in how the team played from stoppage to stoppage.

I almost wish we hadn't had that hot game from outside. The team's approach to offense was much better before then.
