Average margins against the top half of a league that bottomed out in 2012 and is rebounding in a big way right now:
current - +5.71PPG** With Kentucky to go, which will probably inflate this number slightly
2014 - +14.25PPG
2013 - +22.2PPG

So -- we've been in every game against the top half of the league and I believe led in the second half of every one of these games sans @ Bud Walton. We've got to learn to finish games -- no doubt. Which is why I said before that we play like a young team -- by not finishing games and dumb, unforced turnovers.

I understand the argument of "there's been improvement but not enough -- it's year 3" -- and I will agree that Ray is a year behind where he needs to be at this point in time. This team is what last year's team should have been IMO...
