Some quick things that I see having improved:
- The defensive effort is strong, and both the zone and press are making it very difficult for Florida to pass the ball or get an open shot. Every shot is being contested.
- Rebounding effort has really stepped up. It's as if everyone on the floor is thinking about getting to the ball once it goes up. Positioning and technique still needs work, but the desire is there.
- Ball movement is vastly improved. We're finding open shots as a result. Really, the passing has impressed me most.
- On that point, Koufos is getting touches on a lot more possessions. I'd like to see a stat on that -- our shooting percentage when KK touches the ball at least once during a possession.
- Bench players have contributed a lot of minutes and have played well. This team desperately needs depth, so that's nice to see.
Play is really unselfish in general, and energy level is high at both ends of the court. It's exciting to see some solid progress in nearly every aspect of the game. Just in time, too.

Very nice Bucks. What I liked is they are starting to do the things they need to do as a team. The improvement was very evident in this game.
I had to listen to the 2nd half on the radio and it seemed we got a little sloppy right at the end, just saying. I got so tired of the announcers replaying the NC game. as if it had anything to do with this game. Why bring that memory up and up and up , Gawd!
At any rate this was a good win all the way, the world will take more notice of us now

Great win Buckeyes! We needed that for sure.
In the second half we got a lot of good looks because the spacing was light years ahead of where it has been. The "flash" to the post has been there all year and finally we started to get the ball through there consistently. The defensive intensity stayed up the entire second half and that was great to see. We still suck at free throws!?!? Thats got to get better immediately. I think the guys get too fast on the foul line. Great game by Twigs off the bench! Loved it. Lighty was the spark and we were able to get Butler, Diebler and eventually Koufos on fire. Great game to build on. Lets get better from here.
Also way, way, way better on the boards in the second half. :osu:
