RE: Depth+Tough Schedule=Deep NCAA Run

I agree and like how active Tony is on defense.  I think he is clearly
beyond what Huggins expects in terms of effort and being active.  The place
where he seems to have difficulty is keeping himself between his man and the
basket.  This is related to his being active - part of his activity is
overplaying.  The result however is his man getting a step on him and
cutting to the basket (with or without the ball).  I think we can all think
of numerous times we've seen Tony running after his man to the hoop.

I thought that I was the only one satisfied with Tony's defensive play.  He
brings a lot more to the table then people realize.

rebounds.

And something about Tony. While his shot makes me cringe every time, he is
soooo active on defense. He gets his hands on the ball constantly
disrupting the other team's flow. He had 4 steals against UT-Chatt in only
15 minutes and deflected 2 or 3 others. I like his enthusiasm and hope to
like his shot better as the season goes on!
