Rebound stats impressive. Everyone with at least two boards. When you don't shoot well, crash the boards and follow your shots.
 
The rebounding and overall defense has been good. We are in the top 10 in the country for offensive rebounds. If you can do that and take care of the basketball you can overcome some meh shooting.

We had been struggling with turnovers in the first few games as the team comes together, but last night we only had 8.

Austin Peay didn't play real well last night. That was perfect for us. Looked like we sandboxed a little with some extended minutes for Eddie and Wells. They took advantage. Eddie seems to have lightbulbs come on each time he gets long stretches of PT. If that continues, he could be monstrous over the next year or two. That pick defense where he immediately trapped the guard and "put him in jail", as the announcers put it - smart play and well done. A good example of his growth.
