Title: HOW ARE WE DOING THIS WITHOUT DEAN?

I mean, he's like our best player.   _FAN is there something in the "Advanced Stats" you notice about our small lineup that is giving other teams fits?  It's just the darndest thing.

These midgets are guarding their asses off. Missing Dean is clearly hurting us offensively, the impact he had off of the ball in his eight minutes proves that. We missed him rebounding last night as well, we aren't missing him defensively.

sneed hit a lot of threes last night.  their big, who our guys couldn't stop without fouling, got fouled a lot and is bad at shooting free throws.

I think him missing the last several games forced everyone else to step up. I think they are really relying and playing as a team now, instead of needing him to bail them out. Should bode well tomorrow and next year.

When Stokes when out, we responded with our best couple weeks of the season (#1 in Sagarin "recent ratings")

With Wade out, we have responded with three really good NCAA tourney games (#2 in Sagarin "recent ratings")

 :dunno:

Good stats. What’s interesting is with Stokes out we killed it offensively. With Wade out were killing it defensively. I don’t have any explanation, but it does kind of make sense that we’re playing good team ball instead of relying on one guy.

As long as we keep scoring more points than our opponent, we'll win most games.

Imagine how good we'd be if we played with neither of them!

The defense has been ridiculous.

A couple things, but Defense has it's finger prints on most of the reasons. Here is one most won't realize

We had 18 & 10 TO last 2 games, and our Opponent only scored 10 Pts off the TOs.  So we are getting back not giving up easy points when the TO isn't a deadball TO (like a bad pass out of bounds)

Last night we made UK pay. 24-7 edge. We scored the 24 points off of their 15 TOs.

This Tourney. Our D =

39.3% 2pt
26.4% 3pt
22.9% TO
0.82 PPP

Yes. Tremendous Defense.
