The good: Good front court. Rolled through the SEC. 9-4 road/neutral record. Well coached. Good dribble penetration creates easy baskets or opportunities for open 3's.

The bad: Another team that can go long stretches without scoring. Doesn't have the defense to get away with this against the better teams. Had a stretch like this against Kansas early in the season. They would have been blown out if not for poor shooting from Kansas as well. The first half of that game was some of the worst shooting I have ever seen.
