Some of my thoughts

1. The defense in general is pretty good and improving  for a team switching to man principles.. Basically our main complaint was mid majors/ good shooting teams were lighting us up .. Cornell shot 27% from 3 today

2. We are winning the games we are supposed to .. we lost to top teams in UT and Zags and VA beats us there all the time

3. My only issues with the team and maybe Red is this.. Our glaring issue is lack of mental toughness.. Im sure Red is preaching this and maybe we don’t have all  mentally tough guys right row .. sometimes coaches can’t coach that out and it can be contagious.. Our guys complain about calls alot especially Judah.. That’s  not mentally tough and the most problematic issues is that when good  teams make a run we lose mental toughness and our defense suffers .. I.e the late blowouts .. If we aren’t scoring we lose defense intensity and give up more points .. Red needs to find mentally tough guys and play them…I think Judah, Bell and Benny are not mentally tough but he has to play Judah and Bell cause they are scorers.. Benny is not… If we get up on teams we should beat and are able to score I think we are gonna be competitive cause our defense will be good .. we have lost big to 3 very good defensive teams this year

4. We are unbeaten at home.. again back to mental toughness .. it’s much easier to have confidence and be mentally tough at home for young players

5. what was said here before and I agree with .. If Judah Bell and JT don’t score  we are in trouble.. Need another scorer in case a guy is off
