The only reason no one noticed was BC hit like 9 threes in a row to hide the fact we actually started playing better and only crazy shooting kept that game from being winnable down the stretch.
We have shown we can play D for 10-min at a time.. We played it for about 15 vs Pitt. If we can get it to 25 min a game then we are talking.
What is really missing is the turnovers turning into easy baskets that we got so many of the last few years. 7-10 gimme pts a game. We got a few vs Pitt but we need 2-3 more of those baskets a game to help when the O is stagnant for the stretches it always seems to find.
If we can find a way to keep TT in the game then we have 5 shooters. If Howard ever wakes up to help TR come off the bench with energy then we can start talking again.. until this its a fine line..
