They get burned time after time leaving a shooter to help inside, and being slooow to close out on the outside.
Stop with the weak half-ass doubles in the post to leave 3-point shooters wide open.
This is our first game against a team composed of clearly faster (even if not necessarily very talented) players than ours. And it’s creating a ton of problems for us on both ends.
I think their speed impacts us mostly when we make dumb choices. They’re capable of punishing us for them. I still think it’s within our power to make it much less of a factor.
This! They don’t even have much of an inside game. And we keep doing it. Then we might say we were just unlucky average shooters happened to make shots against us
100%. On offense too. We keep trying to beat them off the drible and they stay in front of our guys. Yet, we don’t go inside more. Even Williams seems to overpower them.
A little worrisome to see Nance at 3-13. It doesn't portend good things for when he's matched up with larger opponents in Big Ten play. Young and even Williams are able to handle the post play much better.
Considering no Audige, and dreadful offense from Nance and Buie both so far, it’s surprising we’re still in this.
ok Nance had a nice bounce-back stretch there, but Boo is just too hot-tempered right now. He's been frustrated all game, and if he doesn't cool down he's going to cost us the game.
Wasn’t Williams fouled on that last possession??? Ugh
Honestly, really good play design to get Williams the ball in the post. Just a bummer 1) he couldn't convert and 2) there wasn't a foul called
Should have been called, even on the road, but at least we still have a shot in OT.

Officials were unforgivably slow to respond when Buie called timeout, which was immediately upon gaining possession.
I love how Williams plays. Closet thing we’ve had to Sanjay since he graduated.
I sure did. Typing too fast. Maybe a beer more than I should have as well.
In fairness to Boo though, he’s hit four big FT’s here in OT. Good to have that veteran presence at the line.
Manufactured foul there. Homer call. Hooked Beran’s arm.
I usually don’t complain about refs, but dubious 2 and 1 for Laravia followed by clearly missed foul on Nance’s jumper
NU has missed a few bunnies & open shots at the end of regulation and in OT. That may cost us the game, but this team looks scrappy and tough.
Getting Audige back should help a lot.
