Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 5269540, member: 6357"] This is going to take time. Fans are gonna need to be patient. This year may be a wash, especially with JJ out for extended time, but hopefully next year we see real improvement. I think and hope Red will figure out and solve our problems and build a winning culture, but who knows. There are some worrying signs. Anyhow, you have some of your doom and gloom facts wrong. Before the Tennessee game, we were the #1 defensive rebounding team in the country (#5 now). Offensive rebounding is another story (we’re mid) but I think we’ve backed off those in order to try to get back and shore up our poor transition D. Our pace of play is significantly increased from the end of the JB era (but yes we aren’t executing fast breaks well right now). We’re #29 on possessions per game and 64 in adjusted tempo on KenPom. Defense is pretty atrocious but they played well on that end in Brooklyn so there is some hope. [/QUOTE]
