I think Wes would have put a lot of emphasis over the break to crash the glass from the wing to get better at rebounding.

Also the new Wes on court and in pressers is more of what I would like to see. Claiming he is "not asking anymore" and seeing him getting livid on the court are good developments. He now has good reasons to take players out rather than letting them play through too many mistakes. Lighting them up in timeouts is a good thing.

I am expecting the recent trend of play to continue and if it gets better we will be in good shape. This team can score...if we can play good D...we can maybe even get to 13-5. Still not good enough to make the tourney but we should find out a lot tonight about what we retained and what new adjustments were made over the break.
Some pretty spot-on predictions.

Just about every team (except Houston) had to deal with injury setbacks at some point during the season, but we very likely would've finished 13-5 had Vik and/or Rob not gotten hurt at Tulane.
