One thing I really appreciate about this team is that we are getting out and playing with tempo when we get stops. Unfortunately, we didn't have that opportunity in the first 8 minutes because Auburn just kept making shots. That really took us out of the flow of the game IMO.
Which is why the other teams point totals are going to be higher than they were two years ago. We used to not run on a turnover. We used to slow it down. So naturally more possessions means the other team will have more points, does not mean our defense is worse.
The scoring drought is no big deal if it's just missed shots. That is not what last night was about. It was about we changed our way we were scoring in the second half. Like we had a panic offense going one on one instead of sharing the ball like the first half. I think it was more about panic instead of trying to be a hero. Hopefully we can get better at that this season. Just control our emotions and keep playing the team game.
