We're still making adjustments in personnel to get to where we want to be. But we need to play better defense, no matter who we've got out there. Our interior defense needs to improve. Our help defense needs to get after it, if we're going to get back to where we were last year.
Mercer's defense had something to do with that. We had been shooting well. They forced us to a perimeter game and clogged up the lane.
Mercer played very well. Give Mercer credit. They came in here and played some hard defense and had just enough offense to win.
We had our best half of basketball all year. Our defense was outstanding. We started to go a little individual in the second half.
We've been getting good defense from the rest of them, but last night we got the 9s, 7s and 5s in the scorebook that really help us offensively.
