I started the day harping on shooting and rebounding. Those were our two biggest weaknesses last weekend, and we weren’t going to make noise without sorting those issues. The team answered in both areas today. We shot 48% from the field and outrebounded our opponent (handily) for the first time all season, and we threw in a much better defensive effort, to boot.
But we committed 21 turnovers, which Texas used to cruise to a 22-5 “points off turnovers” advantage that we just couldn’t shake. Today was better, and we definitely wouldn’t have gone 0-3 in Orlando if this team made the trip.
