Yep, defense has been a bright spot. It's a good thing to because our offense is playing badly enough to get blown out if we weren't playing well on defense.
The point guards need to be able to score some. Also, what's with Kruger's obsession with mid-range jumpers? There's very little 3pt pressure applied to our opponents defense.
Just like the K-State game, once this team gets down 8-10, they have virtually no chance to come back and beat a good team. There a few reasons for this obviously, but when playing good teams, they have got to play with a lead in order to have a chance.
