Offense will never be our problem, Defense, Defense Defense. OU (Tashon Thomas) exploited Niang's poor man to man defense all night. Us doubling down to help Niang leaves shooters open.
Common denominator in all this is that we need to put Niang in a position where he can be successful in Defensive situations! If he is going to be the liability, then we need to crisp of our help rotations to hide these deficiencies. Another thing that I've noticed is that OU and KU both killed us from the perimeter with the "Weave" offense. Our guards are not fighting through the screens well enough, and when we do switch it isn't very efficient. If we can improve just these 2 areas, our defensive efficiency would improve immensely.
