acceptable allowed confidence cox easy fair guys happen hole offense rhythm
It's not fair to Brandon Cox and our offense to get in a hole 10-0, ... It's not acceptable and can't happen any more. I thought we were passive, especially early.

My first year here we made 230-some 3-pointers, and these guys are a little behind that. We do rely on the three heavily, but then again we're vertically challenged. So we need the 3-point shot to even things out against bigger teams.
