At least for today, we are a full game in front of the two Georgia teams in the SBC standings. So, what got us here? Obviously, it was not depth. Some gritty play in spite of not having any depth contributed greatly. We have a player who is quick enough and a good enough shooter that he can score when he needs to and at times can take over games. We have had a dominant front line, even without Maric. We have a bona fide rim protector with 32 blocks already. We have had good overall defense, even though our perimeter defense has been weak. We have four (now five) guys who can shoulder the scoring load on any given night. We are plus-5 in the rebounding battle, which to some extent helps to make up for our turnovers.
A lot of positives. The toughest part of the conference schedule still lies ahead of us, but this team is good enough to take care of business.
