This team is elite in so many ways, but our lack of rebounding is definitely going to catch up to us. We gave up 13 offensive rebounds and got overall out-rebounded by 12.

I certainly don’t want to get negative after a fun and relatively smooth win, but the Valley won’t be so kind.

We never let the lead get below 15 and kept it between 15-23 I think the entire second half. I will take that - game was never in doubt and Rice was very much put away at half. I’m not worried about second half splits. The defense the entire game - different story our D is pretty pathetic at times but when you score like that - I mean I guess. Just not use to it.

8 steals is a pretty good defensive number and we turn turnovers into offense pretty easily so - it wasn’t all bad on D. Also only had 17 fouls - we’ve been a team that has fouled quite a bit this season so that’s playing better without fouling.
 
Much more enjoyable to watch this type of game rather than a boring drag it out affair. We scored 103 points without getting much scoring from Swope. I look for him to go off next game.

Hard to foul when you're 6-8 feet off your man....just sayin'.

All-in-all a good win. We just need to tighten up on the defensive side, especially perimeter defensive rotation and blocking out.
 
Just from my experience, the defense has always seemed poor to me when I'm not watching the game and just watching the scoring.
We did hold them to under 45% shooting. They hit almost all of there FT's, so I'm assuming they are good shooters.

note: we recruited Camp Wagner, I believe. He sure likes to shoot.
