I think this stretch will be a success if we do a few things well. I think if we do these things well, we will have our share of wins.
Play great defense without fouling. For the most part, our defense has been above average. To be the team we want them to be we have to pick it up a notch. Our only game against a team with a pulse, we allowed them to score 87 points and shoot 49%. Cincinnati is shooting 49%, scoring almost 90 per game. Miami is shooting 51.9% and scoring 92 points per game. We have to play games in the 60's or 70's to have success.
Continue shooting the 3 well. Outside of the last game, we have been much improved shooting the 3. The level of competition will improve drastically. Teams will not allow White and McVeigh to have open looks from distance. The question is can someone like Shields, Webster, Parker, or Watson pick up the slack?
Get to the free throw line and continue making them when you get there. We are shooting 72.8% from the free throw line. The only player struggling is Morrow, who is shooting 40% from the line.
