I thought Loyola looked fairly shaky today, plenty of open 3's in first half they couldnt hit and threw the ball away a lot - although usually under some pressure.
For the Ags, the effort was good and it seemed to pick up as good things started to happen offensively and they led in the game. Some good things happened, but I don't think we looked good offensively today and haven't really looked good offensively this year. I think Buzz is on to something when he says their defense feeds off their offense when it should be vice versa in his opinion.
They had a little more chippy aggression and fight in them today. I think overall, they are a bit weak minded - as a team unit - and currently need to have good things happen in the in order to amp up their play. They can't seem to impose their will or flip the emotionally script if things start going poorly - at least not here in these last few games.
It would be ideal if Radford or Dennis stepped up as a hard nosed vocal upper classmen leader on the floor and I dont know if either of them has it in them to do that. I am not saying that to be critical, some people are comfortable in that role and others arent and are still great players. But you need one on the team, I think, and ideally it's someone upper classman and to be honest ideally it would be Radford since he's been with Buzz and the team longer than Dennis.
