I'm not worried about today's game. Even with our alleged improve pace of play, we won't play another team that plays that style of play. Savannah State is essentially a rec team when it comes to the style of play. By my quick count, only 18 tourney teams had an adjusted tempo in the top 100 via KenPom. The majority of good teams just don't play that fast. We won, the young guys got playing time, no one got hurt.

Western Carolina will be a better game. If we give up 70+ to them then we can talk about the defense maybe not being as good as it usually is. But, probably not.

Based on possessions our defense was pretty damn good. Sure they scored 77 but they did it on just .83 points per possession which is very very good

Exactly. IF we play this quicker style it's natural to give up points. You give a team more chances at scoring they will score more. If they start scoring .95-1.0+PPP then there's a problem.

This is the biggest question I have regarding this year. We all know this, I hope Mick knows it, but if we lose a couple games and he sees us giving up 70+ a game, is he going to panic and go back to the grind it out style? Or is he smart enough to realize that sub .9 pts per possession is pretty good defense

I just wish he could hit damn free throws-That goes for a few others on the team today. They were terrible at the free-throw line
Cane looked like he had no idea of the speed of players and their ability to close on lazy passes or how to get himself out of a trap. And this was Savannah St.

Jenifer was very well aware of Why you need to zip passes and not dribble into trouble and pick up the dribble. Jenifer had some great highlights today.

Cane will get it worked out...but it could take a little while. The competition won't get easier and the speed of the D will increase as we go.

I dont care what he can do vs bad teams, he did that last year a couple games too. But last year we couldn't even put him in the game vs the good teams. It's a massive leap to think he can play 20+ minutes vs them now.
