re: After watching men’s basketball tonight they look like a middle of the pack SEC team.

I agree. The key to how many wins in the SEC is how well we handle pressure, which will be a whole team effort. Hopefully that is what we are spending the most time on.

Once we get past that pressure our offense will keep us in a lot of games. Last year we would struggle at times to get past the pressure but have little to offer on offense beyond KJ.

Defense and defensive rebounding are still questions until we play stronger competition. We should be stronger defensively this year just based on individual talent, but obviously the games will tell.

Bottom line: I think we improved depth, improved guard play even without Cook, and our offense is greatly improved, a true threat that teams will have to defend by extending pressure and trying to force turnovers.
