I'd be more impressed with this win if we had done a better job of tracking the hot hand on defense. Second game in a row where one guy was killing us and we repeatedly lost track of him. Too many times Graham parked himself at the top of the key and neither Frank nor Battle got up in his grill. Yeah he hit a few with a hand in his face, sort of. It's one thing to close late with a hand up versus actually being in a guy's grill and altering his shot. It was mostly the former and not much of the latter.

Also, on offense, there was way too much dribbling at the top of the key, way too little movement off the ball and way too little settling for long jumpers. We got their big guy in foul trouble and continued to settle for jumpers. Oshae shouldn't be going 2-8 from 3, especially when he hasn't shot it well all season. When their big guy went out, he should have been attacking the rim and working in the paint.

All that being said, I was happy with the effort and no quit. It will definitely serve us well in games down the line. Hoping to see some improvements against UConn. Otherwise, even though UConn isn't at the same level as Kansas, I think we will be looking at a second straight loss.
