Really great points. Good perspective on the offense. There were long stretches yesterday where it really seemed like they were playing to their potential. Maybe even moreso than the Maryland game. Always need to keep working to put that performance out for a full game but it was much closer to a full game of offensive dominance than we've seen most of this season against quality opponents.

The zone slowed them down a little but I think that was mostly attributable to the lack of time of possession especially in Q4. They had moments were they clearly diced the zone, but just couldn't really get into a rhythm late with limited touches.

Defense continues to be strong 1v1. Georgetown beat them with a lot of passes inside and dunks from the doorstep. McCool has a great game but those are hard to stop. Just lost their men or slid too aggressively at times. Again, didn't really affect the outcome of this game but something to keep in mind prepping for some teams coming up. Defense also looked pretty gassed late.

All that to say, it was a really dominant performance that shows from a performance perspective, the team is moving in the right direction. Still gotta get their heads on straight. No need to gift teams momentum and opportunities.

Cuse has put themselves in a very strong position for a playoff game in the Dome. Gotta take care of business in the ACC. Would really love to stay away from Princeton for as long as possible in the bracket . . .
