Slow start but Myles really asserted himself. Much better teamwork. Harper taking over now

All positive at halftime

Keep feeding the post. Not doubling down, no answer for Myles or Harper down low.

don’t remember the last time our bigs had this many touches.

Last two times Cooks had the ball we fouled him, before the shot, as he was making a move. Both times it was fewer than 7 fouls so they had to take it in from out of bounds, restart their offense, and other players ended up taking the shot for them (and missing). Good use of fouls-to-give in the end-of-half minutes.

25% from 3, 54% on FTs.

Still lots of room for improvement but at least they looked like a cohesive team and not just a collection of players for a stretch.

I hope this isn’t an accident and instead this is the actual gameplan by Pike. Because I’ve said it all along and being proven right tonight. Just feed it inside to Johnson (and Harper). Watching Haas on Purdue and Happ on Wisconsin do what I know what these guys are capable of got old, we need to and can do IT !!

Young and Mathis are the lefty/righty versions of the same player. Good on D and run-outs, not so good in a half-court offense (where Paul is better), and both force things, both leave their feet with no plan in mind and both turn it over too much.

Harper getting back to basics is making all the difference. Keep going inside to him.

Huge. When our guys play loose they play confident. Smart passes and hitting shots, and some TOUGH shots at that by Harper and Johnson, and the opponent is reeling. Need to play like this night in and night out we have the talent !
