our defense under and around the basket. They got entirely too many easy baskets in close because they were open and because there was no help there. It got better in the second half but we were lucky in that their defense seemed to slack off and our offense started to be aggressive. They backed down.
We are not tall but that doesnt mean that we couldnt use more bodies under the basket. Too many times opponent's shorter people get rebounds.
 
WSU did a good job breaking the pressure and making OU pay in the first half with some easy baskets inside but it forced them to play a tempo they didn't want to play and that paid off in the second half.

OU is so undersized in there, it's going to be tough on the post players to defend, though I agree they need to be better. Rebounding is more my concern, Cam and Neal need to hit the boards hard cause Fitz is not a good rebounder and probably won't ever. Osby is pretty good in there but he needs help.
