A few good things happening

Very quietly, some good things are happening. Nothing that is producing headlines yet, but that might do so on down the line.

1. Suddenly we have a couple of 3-point threats, those being Anthony Black and Cameron Corcoran. Just that one simple fact could make a major difference in our offense.

2. Ryan Pippins is suddenly a factor, maybe. Who knows? One game does not necessarily mean much, but he did more in one game than he had done in his entire career. Maybe that indicates something. If so, it could be huge.

3. In his last four games, Andre Jones has been 0 for 4, 0 for 4, 1 for 7, and 0 for 4 from the three-point line. To do the math for you, that is 1 out of 19 in his last four games. He did not play against Bradley and had only 15 minutes against Ozarks. I have no idea why his minutes went down, but maybe Wes is trying to get his attention. Someone needs to. He has been killing us! And if Wes is finally realizing that he is killing us, maybe he is doing something about it.

4. All of a sudden, we have become a very good team at defending against the 3. In our last six games, only Bradley shot over 30% against us. That sounds like the old Trojan defense!

5. Ben Marcus is for real. We are eleven games into the season and he is still shooting 76% from the field!

It has taken a long time to happen, but maybe things are slowly turning in the right direction.
