This seems to be very true as Jans is working out rotations.

Gone are the days of lazy defense it looks like. I can get behind that for sure.

Outside of the first 10 minutes, we have looked really good on defense and better as the game goes on with offense.

Playing with intensity has not happened in men’s bball in a long time. LETS GO JANS!

For a team that can't shoot 3s, we sure shoot a lot of 3s

We're 3/19 from 3

How can we year after year have no one who can make a 3?

I'm more concerned that we can't make 3s, and yet, we continue to shoot them like we Duke

Playing defense like we are will mask a lot of things. It’s sad that playing hard defense is all it takes to get me excited, but that’s where I’m at post Howland.

I'll say this. We play hard and we play as a team. I don't see any selfish play. Been a while since we could say that.

We've looked better in 2nd.

Yeah, we've looked bad offensively but at least we have a gameplan. Last year, we'd pass it around the perimeter for 25 seconds and then jack up a bad jump shot.

Defensively, we look really good

I'm seeing some really good things tonight. Everybody is rebounding, sharing the ball, playing defense. I like it.

The majority are by Moore and Jeffries. Howland let them keep missing over and over. I hope Jans does something about it.

I love me some Cam Matthews.

We are playing in and out through Tolu, and it is making a huge difference.

Yep, it simplifies the game plan so much. Look for him early and often and create motion around him.

DJ is way more comfortable in his role this season

When I watch DJ Jeffries it looks like God made a basketball player and DJ just can't figure out how to make it work.

2nd half has been better organized than anything Howland put on the floor his entire time here.

The fight for rebounds. Intense D, and TOLU doing TOLU things.

I like what I see.

I like a lot of what I saw 2nd half, but the onslaught of 3s is horrible. We can't shoot 'em... they should be limited.
