We do seem to be playing our best ball now. I think there are reasons for that. First of all, lack of focus isn't a problem anymore. With this short bench they know they can't look past anyone and they know that they all have to work their tails off if they are going to win. At times in the past we have been guilty of playing down to the level of the competition. Also, Green and Murphy have stepped up...no one or two rebound nights lately and scoring is up for both up.

It's easier to win with a short bench when you're playing two days a week. Harder in potential back to back to back. When Shawn came back from his first injury he was able to give us twenty minutes right away. That would be a big help.
