That game last night wouldn't be close without the foul calls and the turnovers.

The step up from our non-conference schedule to Auburn and Kentucky has been a big adjustment in these areas

Passes that Belmont and Ohio couldn't get to are getting deflected and intercepted by elite athletes now. We're getting into traffic in the lane and get a bit overwhelmed by true bigs with both length and strength

We play aggressive defense and SEC refs can be trigger happy. Another adjustment we have to make

Our team is very talented and plays hard. We have a smart coaching staff. I'm sure they're harping on these very same adjustments. I trust Wade and the team
