Let's not get carried away. The effort is much improved thus far -- especially Lovett -- but the one decent opponent we've had put up 90 on us!!!! Rebounding will be a problem all year as will lack of beef inside. We foul way too often and many of them are just silly. We also need to stop helping off shooters. Lovett has been the biggest culprit in this area.
Good time to revisit.
The idea that the stats ever proved any great defensive improvement was a false narrative as last years stats were for the whole season and this years were pre conference schedule before we played all real teams. Sure it is somewhat improved but not nearly to the extent some were asking if it was the best in the BE. 91 at home to Depaul? OMG
