Prior to the Kansas State game last weekend, the Jays switched up their lineup as Greg McDermott said he was desperate to find a group that communicated better and played together as a unit.
“That group really talks, they really are connected,” McDermott said of the Davis/Swartz/Dix/Green/Traudt starting unit after Saturday’s win over Xavier. “I think the unintended consequence of doing that is the guys on the bench have had the opportunity to see how important that is and see how it impacts winning. So now they’re doing a better job of it. Sometimes you gotta take a step back before you take a step forward.
