Wanted to highlight this play because to me this kind of thing is going to be the difference between us having a nice year and us having the best team we've ever had and really doing something special.
Payne has established himself as a scoring threat in the post, so everyone is going to send bodies at him. Can he keep getting better at setting the floor for us with the ball in hands with the double team coming?
We saw a couple of nice passes down to the low block against Florida, here he finds Wilcher for the skip pass, Mizzou scrambles to recover on Wilcher and so Wilcher makes the extra pass and finds that rarest of rare sites for us, a wide open Wade Taylor on a halfcourt set, and Taylor drains it.
If Payne can keep making more and more of these kinds of plays. Finding open shooters out of double teams, getting it to Coleman down low when his defender has committed up high, that's going to be absolutely huge down the stretch here.
