Don't agree with the bolded.
Don't get me wrong, we played like ballsack. And they did apply some pressure in the backcourt in the second half. But all game, I thought their defense was not good. They covered up some plays pretty well, but on the whole, they didn't do much of anything to stop Withey in the post outside of a few no-call fouls and they couldn't stay in front of any of our guards.
I was incredibly frustrated when we quit going inside. Yeah, the refs let a lot of stuff go on both sides down low in most of the second half, but if we could get a decent entry pass, they'd just sell out and foul the **** out of Withey. We completely went away from it for a tremendous period of time. Hell even Ellis had some success down there.
We were lucky to get this one. UT choked hard.
HARD. They had us on the ropes, and started throwing balls to us and getting tentative and stupid on defense.
In other news, is there a school that recruits better talent and gets less production out of them? Barnes and Brown need to go.
