[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1255850, member: 4069"] Lot I agree with in this. Front court defense just isn't good enough. The lapses in energy, toughness and smart play overall stand out as much as anything I see in this team. Not gonna hate on Hill --he's a good player that likes to play within himself (and plays best that way). People want more, but he's not gonna take over a game against decent competition. On the plus side, BYU was a great test. That team had a ton of heart and battled back into the game when we struggled. And we won with very little from Black, certainly one of our best players. Plus, for much of the early going, we had good rhythm, and movement away from the ball. I cringe when we just stand around, and I see that far too often as a harbinger for a letdown and run by the other team. Anyway, it was an exciting game, and despite the lapses, we managed to respond after a number of good plays by BYU. They may have been tougher than us, but we had some toughness too. [/QUOTE]
