Amazing sea change

That's what happens when you play better and hit shots. I still worry about a game where we are not hitting our shots. The team that lost to VCU was a much better team than VCU that year we just went ice cold at the wrong time. I really hope nothing like that happens to this team as I have enjoyed this year and hope it continues. Keep playing loose and having fun guys and play like you can. If they do that they will be tough to beat.

BIFM won't let that happen Hairy.

Purdue was shooting over 60% from 3 for a while in the 1st half. When that dried up (due to KU defense) they ran out of options.

If you're playing Southeastern Indiana Tech and Beauty School and they're shooting 60% from 3, it's going to be hard to keep up.

Don't discount the coaching acumen of HCBS. Biggie and Swanigan were killing us early, but then the defense started doubling them and denying the entry pass, resulting in lots of steals. Hitting shots was a key factor in dominating Perdue, but the improved defense against their bigs was also very important. It feels like this team is finally getting it with respect to how their defensive effort can really make them much better. There is always a game in the tournament where things don't go well on offense, and I hope they can keep up a high effort on defense to get them through when that happens.

Ouch!

That'd be a bad beat.

Jackson's help D when the ball dropped into the post was disruptive to say the least. That defensive shift helped stop the bleeding and was the source of a number of transition opportunities that helped shift momentum into what became an avalanche of offense.

It was an amazing thing to see no doubt about it.
