So many things have gone wrong since the start of Big East play, but reading these stats are staggering. Especially when we have a coach who is known for and prides himself on defense.
Conference-only defense
Providence 104.9
Creighton 105.2
Xavier 106.3
DePaul 107.2
Georgetown 108.2
Villanova 108.4
Butler 109.3
St. John's 109.5
Seton Hall 110.6
Marquette 113.1
To trail only Marquette, a team that treats defense like the plague, is beyond head scratching and points to a lack of hard work and desire to do everything needed to win.
I think that above anything else these numbers are an indictment of our team. Offense comes and goes, but defense should be a constant and when you go from the best defense in the league to the worst this side of Marquette in 4 games that's a telling story with these players.
I don't think they have quit on Willard but the stats make a liar of me.
