I know this is a no brainer but I think we are like #279 in the country giving up over 75 per game.  Do they know defense wins championships?

Also, what is with 7 points on three straight out of bounds plays.  TYwo layups and a three off a screen.  I heard Groce say in the post game the plays were scouted.  What time zone were the players in?

Anybody heard of coaches who can recruit but cannot get players to put their game faces on or execute a game plan?  I'm beginning to wonder...

But remember, this team has four seniors -- only two of whom start -- and no juniors (Offutt is sitting out).  Only three players on this year's roster (Freeman, Washington and DJ) averaged more than 16 min a game last year. 
So most times there are two, three or four players on the floor who didn't have much playing time before this season.  It's a young, inexperienced group that's still learning.  They've got great skills, but a lot of their problems are between the ears -- poor choices and inattentiveness.  If they are teachable, that can be fixed.
