And this is why I don't think we have a chance at running the table at A10 Tourney.
This team's identity is supposed to be defense. And defense is supposed to be more dependably consistent than offense. We have at the 5 the single season block record holder. At the 4 we have what announcers are calling A10 defensive player of the year. At the 2 or 3, we have the specialist we count on to stop the other team's best scorer. And we have Mali who's also a great pesky defensive player. Yet we let GW shoot 49 percent from the field and score 70. 70 might not be much in a normal game, but when you have a team that depends on defense and does not have a consistent funtioning offense, it's much too much.
