I agree our defense has been horrid, especially on the road. However, I still maintain the opinion that our point guard play has been relatively abysmal and inconsistent, and is arguably the larger issue.
On Sunday night against Tech, we did not score the last minute and a half in the first half and we remained stuck on 32 in the 2nd half for the first five minutes or so. At the 10 minute mark of the second half, we had 38 points and were down 49-38. 6 points in approx. 11 and a half minutes (1st half carryover). With 3:49 left in the game, the score was 58-45. So, in a little over 17 minutes of game time (again, carrying over from first half) we managed to score a whopping 13 points.
Our defense was good enough to win, it was our offense that was the most hindering. The Tech game was just one of several in which our offense has been darn right offensive.
