northwestern was able to get 20
Theee point shots on us off on us in first 30 minutes

Last 15 minutes?

Only theee attempts

Go back and look at more than a few games ...same thing when we had to dig out of a hole against Michigan, iowa, and Nebraska. The other team can’t get off three balls ....we get back in the game

Even last 6 minutes against Maryland

Key trend thar we do a great job of focusing on ...and key to slowing them down to coming back

Let's hope we start some games with that fierce intensity again like we did to SHU. OSU was smoked in the first half by the Badgers today. Let's see who starts better on Wednesday night.

So what we need to do is defend the 3 from the get go of which there is no excuse since we seem to defend it so well at the end of the game

Thought going in to this game our three shot defense was the key to the game and an easy victory.

Regression to the mean......... and variance.... our 3-point D had been good all season...... but some teams were bound to start hitting the 3's other teams had been missing much of this season..........

It’s not about the percentage guys

It’s about the quality of defense to not allow the shots in the last 15 minutes to even get off ...
