Agree we should not overreact to one game. Every team of 18-20 year old college kids will lay and egg once in a while. But I saw some things last night that were very disturbing which Coach Jones needs to address...
1. Grays attitude. He seems like a yo-yo...up...down...up...down. Start Patterson until his ankle fully heals or he gets his head on straight...whichever is ailing him. PG play is critical.
2. Interior defense - we are awfully lazy with lateral movement of feet. Our idea of D is let them in the lane and have M block it.
3. Offense breaking down a Zone - every team we now face will be in Zone until we figure out more crisp ball movement.

If they win 80% of their homes games and 40% of their road games, they will have a decent seed in the ncaa tourney. I think they will be ok.

The problem is that issues 2 and 3 that you listed were glaring problems last season (and really the season before). They have never been fixed because there is evidently no emphasis on fixing them
