This is different type athlete active hands (harassing type defense) knocking loose balls and jumping passing lanes,better defense than Iowa I think 23-16 Win or lose,this is a great learning experience,better now than if we are playing an NCAA tourney game 24-18
Jackrabbits doing a great job against a very physical team. Few too many unforced turnovers...get those under control and this second half will be fun to watch.
Ever game I see this season makes me feel terrible for the rest of the Summit League.
They rattled us early,and we just started rushing things,very good harassing type defense,like a lot of the top teams have,because they have the athletes to harass and still get back quickly.I think for all that,we are very much still in this game.We are probably the best defense they've seen this year yet,they have to work hard for their points.
Hats off to Oklahoma. They were solid in all phases of the game. I lost count of how many big 3's they hit just when we were starting to make a run. That's a good team. We needed to play pretty much error free to beat them on their home court.
And a number of those threes were from 5 or 6 feet beyond the line. Hard to close out when they are hitting from there. Their quickness bothered us, and their big post had Ober and Thompson hearing footsteps and rushing things.
