Our offense and relatively easy schedule has masked a very porous defense, but losses are coming. And, I'll say this, we aren't making the Final Four, either. I'll put that out there now. They just aren't good enough on the defensive end.
It definitely looks lazy, and that’s inexcusable. Two guys just stood there and gave up that put-back dunk.
I’m not ready to say all that yet. The team knows the schedule is easy. Let down games are what they are. I anticipate that we will lock it down against the better teams later in the schedule.
I don’t know enough about hoops to argue with you - but I do know that any team who plays to their competiton, and who think that they can just turn it off and on...will eventually get caught, and when it doesn’t come back “on” .
Every single team in the country experiences these sorts of nights. MSU just lost to an Indiana team that was on like a 7 game losing streak. Michigan now has two losses to unranked teams. UVA should have lost in OT the other night to a team that only managed to score 24 points today. We are fine.
Offensively, I take us up against anyone in the country. Right now on defense though, weve got a lot to correct before the tournament or we wont make it any further than we did last year.
