Observations from yesterday's game, for what it's worth.
We missed 11 lay-ups/cripshots, hit half and no worries.
They drive the full length of the court with 8.5 seconds left in the first half for an uncontested lay-up, same as against Louisville. You would think we would have learned a lesson.
The reason we did a poor job of getting BTA shots, is we went back to dribble, dribble, dribble. Did not move the ball crisply and make the defense react. ISU did a masterful job and moving our defense and got looks all day.
We did a nice job of scoring inside and getting to the line, free throw shooting was outstanding, don't care about over time because we should locked down the win and gone to the house.
I agree with Norm on our defense, the kids played three fourths of the game in a funk and finally woke up in the last 4 minutes and should have stolen a win, except for poor rebounding technique on two missed shots.
This team right now looks like a shadow of itself that faced tough Gonzaga, Louisville, and Duke teams. They have the talent to compete and beat every single team in the Big XII, I am just waiting for them to show up and give 40 minutes of "hell" every time they take the floor. Once all the kids on the same page, they will be a tough team to beat, right now.............
