^^^Yes but why didn't he have them ready for those 3 straight losses in Rupp?

As Cal says, it's a process. He's been preaching the same things but you don't always see immediate results. If they keep following the process, I think the defense will continue to improve.  Over the last two games , they've been a top 20 team in ADE(adjusted defensive efficiency). That's pretty big for a team that was ranked #124 in ADE just a week or so ago.  We've gone from #124 to #82 in ADE in the last two games. They are well within reach of being a top 50 team in ADE by the end of the regular season if they continue what we've seen against Ole Miss and Auburn. That would be quite an improvement.
