It seems the message is clear; Play hard, like your life depends on it, ugly it up, and don't run around like an idiot.

IOW - Ugly as hell, but hard working blue collar basketball.
That second half was something different than what we’ve seen all year. Maybe that’s our identity. Maybe Mo is this years Oweh.

JQ would fit in well with this mindset.

Oweh's chance at retribution starts tomorrow. The IU series is back on. Wilkerson spurned UK and just dropped 44 with 10 triples their last game. Lock his *** up and get the W. Do that and many will mostly forgive the **** season thus far.

Speaking of IU, we need to constantly attack the rim. They have no inside presence and minimal depth. Put pressure on their guards and bigs relentlessly. Go to the foul line, get them in foul trouble. Only shoot threes if it's a kick out or under 5 on the shotclock. That's the path to victory.

Look...we needed this win to even make the GD tournament (an achievement if it happens). Like, thats the ceiling...just make the tourney. Not. good. enough.

It was great to see:

A PG that can penetrate w/o going spaz, turning the ball over

AND

A team that fought like men.

That goes a long damn way. And IF we get JQ, then we just might turn this ship around.

(also, when Aberdeen can play the two, he is exponentially better. Practically a different player)

Like I said last week this team was built to play last years SEC. Rugged defense minded low scoring battles.

This is what this team has to be, and likely will be better than 14 SEC teams this season.

As we get better offensively things will look better going into tournament play but until then shut everyone down to their lowest scoring output against us all year.

IU has more slow footed honks in their rotation than exists all throughout the SEC.

IU is second only behind Tennessee to me in terms of pure hatred so I’m happy with the win regardless but let’s not fool ourselves. They are terrible if Wilkerson isn’t going stupid.
