From Iowa st to Xavier, it just took our D a while to figure out the good offensive teams.
Good offensive teams can start good from the start bc it's less reactionary. Uc needs to feel you out first, unfortunately that leads us to down 14-4 to start games and yet, by the start of the second half, we've either tied the game or brought it to a few points.

As our offense gets better, I think will start games better

We aren't built to come from behind. At all. Not even a little. So if defense is going to be our calling card, I'd rather be the team that comes out swinging. That's why I like Cumberland over Johnson as a starter so much. If we need to put the clamps down on D, Johnson can come off the bench and give us a lift. I really wish we'd make a point to try to score 10 by the first media timeout in every game.

I agree with you on that. I also hope to God Troy realizes he should be driving to the hoop from the start of the tip. Too many times last year it was like he wouldn't do it til we were down and needed to comeback. He's so much better when he attacks.
Also, I hope we don't see Troy walk the ball up as much. Unfortunately I think that won't happen and at this point, it is what it is.

My hope is Troy continues to limit his tourn overs, shares the ball, improves his shot selection and his percentage and for gosh sakes stop dribble penetration. Who will be the go to guy in our offense I believe is yet to be determined.
