[QUOTE="Eight, post: 2952682, member: 73370"] not sure many would disagree with the thought that the frogs need to get better defensively if they are going to finish in the top half of the conference this year. you can't depend upon shooting 56% from the floor and 46% from 3-pt each night especially against some of the defensive squads the frogs are going to face when they get deep into conference play. pharm hit the nail though when regardless of how that game was played last night the frogs found a way to win it instead of letting it get away and the is big. offensively i didn't feel as if one player was forcing things and really didn't find myself pondering why someone just took the shot they did instead of letting things flow in the half court. consider these two numbers, 4 assists and 2 turnovers. those aren't the numbers for pj, rj, mike or todd. those are the numbers for kevin samuel last night and i am pretty damn certain that 4 assists are a career high for him. granted, kevin isn't about to become bill walton at the high post for the blazers in dr jack ramsey's motion offense, but the fact he got 9 shots and had enough touches to get 4 assists tells me the ball isn't sticking in the hands of 1 player who is dribbling the stripes off the ball as we have seen in the past heck, mickey pearson had 2 assists last night and easley had 4 as well. there have been complete games the past few seasons where the frogs starting back court didn't turn in a line of 10 assists to 3 turnovers. things are about to get real very fast for the frogs after new year's and we will see if the frogs can continue this style of play, if dixon will trust his players when things get tough, will the players trust each other or revert to going 1 on 5, and can they continue the mindset pharm mentioned as key to the win. we will see, but i will say the type of play i have seen in the last 2 games gives me hope it could continue and with improved defensive effort i think that gives the frogs their best chance to compete in the big 12.
