1. Roberson is really settling in. He was known as a great rebounder coming out of HS and we are seeing that for sure. He's excellent on the boards.
2. The top of the zone. We didn't do wonderfully today against the 3 (which was essentially their only offense), but one thing I have seen in the past two games is a focus on denying the entry pass from the top of the key to the foul line area. In years past, that has been defended very well and it supercharges the zone. In the past 5 years, we have seen so many kicked balls because our guards are preventing that pass with all four limbs. I saw zero kicked balls in the first 12 games and have seen multiple kicks in the past two. This is a subtle, but significant improvement.
3. I think Patterson is doing a fine job spelling Kaleb.
4. Cooney is getting more confident shooting the three ball.
5. G also continuing to show he can hit it.
The not so positive is we continue to struggle to close games out and we continue to look very terrible against pressure. Louisville could beat us by 100, but there is visible improvement happening in almost all areas right now.
