So far we're looking much better on offense and defense. Everyone is playing their butts off except for Mayer on D. Really like what I'm seeing. Still need to clean up the sloppy turnovers and the free throw shooting, but we're looking good thus far

Beth-Cook on a 5:00 minute scoring drought to start the game! Finally got their first bucket.

Epps and Harris !!
Bethune-Cookman is not a good team. To be honest, may be what we need to get our swagger back.
Ball movement and Goode without a walking boot. 
6 assists on 8 FG - that's more like it.
Got to say really liking the ball moment and quick passes on offense thus far and not just stagnant dribbling that has stagnated our offense the past couple of games.even the 3 point shots look like good shots and not desperation 3s we've been seeing.also the defense is looking alot more intense I'm liking the not switching everything think it might be a bit easier to hold people accountable for losing there man
CoHawk..... Dude, just R.E.L.A.X. Whipping passes to nobody, just hyped up. Threaded the needle, missed the cutter but it made it to RJ for 3!

If we don’t beat them by 52 like IU did, we are trash!

I am seeing offensive sets being ran and executed well. This is a good warm up before northwestern. You can see Underwood went into to teacher mode over break.
Even DD is slighter deeper in the paint than he has been. Needs to post stronger. But you can see the obvious adjustments in the self scout.

I’m gonna say yes. Looks like there has been some tweaks. To my eye it looks likeIs that a new defense?
a standard help and recover M2M.
But it looks like they’re getting after it with it…they’ve gotta stop the ball better on transition D though.

That was all effort by Dainja right there. Defense to offense. Outstanding effort
Love the balanced scoring so far.
Epps needs to fight harder to get over that screen. Went under twice now.
Harris plays like he's an upperclassman. His awareness and bball IQ is off the charts
I'm sure coaches have work long and hard to get Dain to be a better free throw shooter. But seems all his shots are long for misses. Maybe a trip to the Opthomalogist to check his depth perception. Just wondering!
As someone who always made free throws at a high clip, god we are frustrating to watch shoot free throws.
