JBo's offseason workouts need to consist of these. Add in Ellingson as well.
Maybe even some of these..

Legs can be improved on it's a fact. It's what frustrated me about Woody and even Glen Worley years ago. If I were JBo I'd make that my full time job this summer besides just shooting. He may not ever be an above the rim player but it's something he could control and improve his overall gameJBo's offseason workouts need to consist of these. Add in Ellingson as well.

We finally played some defense last night...far and away the best defensive game we have played. What really struck me last night though, was that we moved the ball on offense better than we have also. I've always been critical of Fran's teams that they settle for shot early in the clock and aren't patient enough. They were patient last night and moved the ball. The good news is that we may have a few people, Moss/Jok/Uhl that can beat their guy off the dribble late in the clock and create something so we get a decent shot off late. We haven't had that...let's see if we continue to develop that skill. That was fun to watch last night. This team has really improved in a few weeks...pretty impressive.

It was a good game last night and I hope we can keep it rolling. I only hope we can develop more of an inside game. It's great when your three pointers are falling but a bitch when they don't. Just ask ISU how that goes. Plus they missed several up close shots too. I try not to get too up or down from just one game.
The best thing I liked about last night was our improved defense. There will be nights when our shots aren't falling but if you play a good defense you still have a shot at winning.
I got to watch the game last night after I got home and thought how much different it would have been if our shots weren't falling. That's what keeps me grounded. We were hitting and they weren't. We showed some success in the paint but I would like to see Fran work more on that. Would like to see a two to one ratio; two shots in the paint to every three point shot. Most very successful teams have offensive schemes that focus on getting the ball low. We look to be very good at this when Cook comes back.

We didn't even shoot that great.

That's what I was thinking. Shot 47% and 40% from 3. On the season they are 46% and 37%.
The difference was defensive effort. Which is nice because that is repeatable even on off nights.
Wagner and Baer have really stepped up to lead the way on defense. 5656 thinks this team doesn't have the ability to play decent defense. I don't get that at all.

You're forgetting someone and his name rhymes with boss.
Yea Purdue's center is a good defender. Not sure what he has to do with this tho.
