If you believe our defensive issues are fixable. I *think* they are, but I’m getting worried the longer they persist.

For me, our positioning is a problem. We’re just not athletic enough to recover space like other SEC teams.

Edit: perfect example was midway through the 2H. I think we had cut it to 2-3pts. We gave up a drive to Sears and Robinson over-helped. He just isn’t quick enough to recover and gave up a 3 to Youngblood.
Robinson and Williams were particularly bad with over-helping today. Garrison finally made some adjustments late on that front and we got a late stop or two late as a result.

Sears just feasts on over-helping.

Sucks we stunk just as much as in zone as in man today and it exacerbated our rebounding issues. Could have helped keep Sears out of the lane and taken them out of their normal offense. We forced them into
a few uncomfortable possessions but then would give up an offensive rebound.

Plenty of room to grow still and plenty of time to do it.

We probably would have jumped to #3 had we won 🫤

Oh well, 7 of the top ten and 10 of the top and 11 of the top 15 lost this week so we won’t be moving much.
