Bell basically admitted as much in his post-game interview... that he spaces out on defense and in rebounding situations way too much... and that Red has been on him about it... and that's what has hindered him from being a complete player... (paraphrasing what Bell said)

He was definitely better last night on both fronts (tho not great)... and, of course, was also shooting lights-out on O.

Red did yank him at one point (after a stand-around when he should have went for the rebound I think) and the camera panned to the bench and Red was in his grill as Bell sat, but the exchange looked positive with Bell nodding... no slunked back in chair with annoyed look for being yanked that we have seen in the past from him.

Anyways, I thought Bell's attitude and effort (on the whole) was real positive last night... and you definitely couldn't say that for a number of prior games this year with him. Hopefully, a light has gone ON for him and it continues.

Our defense (as a team) was still really rough last night and was interesting Red went with so much zone  for a large part of the game... we couldn't stop Louisville and they couldn't stop us... and we basically went back and forth, shot for shot with them, and we ended up the couple extra we needed for the W.
