Back and forth game between two good teams.  OSU really protects the rim and plays tough defense.  When they got set we struggled mightily, but we adjusted by turning up the pressure, got steals and turnovers and pushed the pace in transition.  The mark of experience is finding different ways to win and we seem to have it.

We have a very college-basketball-experienced team.  I think the announcer said we were something like Top 10 in D1 in total player's college years?

Good crowd for a Monday night with students mostly gone for Thanksgiving break. Crowd intensity picked up in the Pit with about 7 minutes to go in the 2nd half and the fans stayed with it till the end and were rewarded with a thrilling win. Fun night at the Pit!

It's because the old guys filled in for the student section tonight!

because he's the best shooter on the team. you trust your best players. hopefully that confidence carries forward and he starts to become the consistent scorer we anticipated

Yeah, it reminded me of UConn earlier in the day letting Solo Ball sink the game-tying 3 with 1 second left in regulation--when he was 1-4 on 3s and had a grand total of 4 points.  They had hotter hands they could have gone with but still trusted him.

That did not look pretty... Why would you set up a play to have him shoot if he's been playing like ass all night? Incredible that it went in though

Go plant a tree or dig up some asphalt or whatever it is you do.
