Yes. His defensive plays were huge and I really like how we wanted the ball at the end.

Jordan has been clutch at the FT line all year in the clutch. We are so fortunate to have a PG that wants the ball and can make a difference with his FTs. Many teams do not have that luxury.

Gotta give it up to Walker and DJ coming in ready to play. Their per 40 stats are off the charts!

A careful reading of the box score stats is very revealing:

OU shot 61.5% to 50% by Dayton from BTA in the first half, but due to a drought, only led by 2 at halftime.

Lon obviously told his team to work the ball inside and take advantage of our inside game the second half. While we were only 1-5 BTA in the second half, the emphasis on the inside game was paying off:

1st half, we shot 2-2 at the free throw line, but the second half, we were 17-22 at the line, at the same time, wearing Dayton down physically, and taking advantage of their short bench. That, combined with our 10-4 advantage on the offensive boards, gave us chances at putback points... unfortunately, we missed way too many bunnies. We will need to do better against the Spartans.

Good coaching by Lon!
