TBH, we scored over 80. Again. The offensive output is better than it has been in years.

And, while we have some significant defensive issues -

a) we went zone and it was really effective (tho rebounding suffered) and

b) this is stuff Cronin *does* do really well (teach defense). I expect it to get better

Rebounding is still a pretty major issue, especially with our bigs (all 4?) tending to go for blocks which leave them out of position for rebounding. This gets worse from the zone, but working on zone rebounding is something that practice will improve.
