We actually CAN defend a little and rebound better with more effort. This is evidence of this. We are also back to the type of offense we were playing before our losing funk, with more passing and getting to the rim.
That said, we still woefully need some inside players who can vacuum the ball at both ends. Ellison is improving for sure. Our freshmen guards are playing loose again. Need to keep the effort at the defensive end and on the glass up. Add Clark, Simon. Maybe Kennedy/5th year senior and we will definitely be improving. I like the effort much better today.
