<p class=MsoNormal>NW definitely helped us out there, using all their timeouts
and making some terrible decisions. Plus we got a few calls from the refs, not
that they were bad calls, but calls you don't usually get. For example, the
tieup at half court and Trent stripping the ball on the drive to the basket.
Usually the refs will assume the team that is behind is trying to foul and call
that.<br>
<br>
I don't think we should be using the full court press all the time, but I'd
like to see Bruce break it out more often. Maybe during those times we're
struggling to score on the road, it seems to energize the team and might be a
good "kick start" tool to use.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Yeah,
there's no doubt we got a little lucky -- Northwestern is not really an
offensive powerhouse, and most teams would have scored enough to hang on to
that lead. But there were definitely encouraging things here, like the
fact that our press towards the end was outstanding -- they had no idea how to
handle it, and even when it didn't result in a turnover (which it did, what,
2-3 times?) it threw their offense off track. And the fact that we
finally showed some mental toughness outside the confines of Assembly
Hall. I was also going to list that we did it basically without Davis,
who seemed like a non-factor, but I was very surprised to check the box score
and see that he had 10 points -- I guess that last blown layup may have colored
my final impression, but that seemed like a quiet performance for him. He
also got 6 boards, which was only topped by Chester.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

great as it was to get the win, when we badly needed a road win to stay on
track in the race for the conference title, I hope Bruce reams them a new one
about the FT shooting -- I thought we'd left that crap behind us. There's
simply no excuse for shooting that poorly EVER. That alone will guarantee
a loss against a really good team.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
