Serious answer....at some point during the 2nd half of the Vanderbilt game, the fellas seemed to realize that playing good defense can lead to good things happening. Kinda like a light bulb suddenly going on.

The improvement I've seen comes from having Hornsby back and Victor. Whether that's a turnaround, we'll see.

5 out of the last 6, with obvious improvement in energy level and intensity following the Houston loss. The Wake game is the outlier.

The veterans like TQ, Victor, and Hornsy showing poise and leadership when needed most coupled with Ben Simmons starting to assert himself more.

I think Jones moving from the press box to the field was huge.

Bingo. Biggest win was getting them both back and into team flow

Victor is a tad better at basketball than Malone

It's because Hawthorne is calling the games obviously.

Consider the opponents and how the games were won.

Because Malone played so much during the losses? Try again.

The correct answer is Craig Victor. We were getting hammered on the boards by everyone and Simmons was burdened with having to pull down 15-20 boards just to stay competitive. Victor's ability to rebound and score solved our inside game and allows Simmons to do what he does best.

We were going nowhere this year without an inside presence. Thank you, Victor.

Getting Victor back was huge to me. Since his return our defensive rebounding and interior defense has been much improved.
