Of course, we need to defend better, BUT . . . if we had those same looks, we'd be 2 of 9, maybe 3 of 9. So frustrating how easy good teams make it look to put the ball in the basket.
That's not going to change, playing the final conference game (for everybody) on Sunday night, then turning around and playing a Wednesday first-round game. Not feeling super optimistic at this point.

We guard better than McKendree.
