Opponents scores the last 5 games. Defense has really stepped up lately.

Those are the lowest 5 scoring totals in our SEC slate so far.

Who could have seen this coming?**

I do hope we aren't peaking too soon. Still haven't really put a whole game together. But our mindless spurts have gotten much shorter.

I think the announcers said this was the first 5 win SEC streak in 11 years. That kind of blew my mind that we've been bad for that long.

Without arguably our best defender.

What do you mean? Aric has been playing some...

Ado becoming fully healthy and being a rim protector is a big big part of why our defense has improved

It was easy to see the schedule lightened up for sure. It’s nice to see us not 17ing it up. I wasn’t sure they could take advantage or not.

Mizzou’s five starters only totaled 16 pts. Not sure what it means but it’s interesting.

Peters is a very good defender. He plays hard on that side of the court. It makes a big difference.

Mostly due to the easing of the schedule. We'll see how we look against the Barners and UT.

We just held Mizzou to their lowest point total of the season. I guess all their other opponents didn’t care about playing good D all game?
