Some thoughts:
1) Darn, these kids battle and don’t give up. Three OT games in three days and they fought through on a short lineup.
2) These kids play loose, which leads to a few mistakes, but they don’t play “scared” like they sometimes did under Huggs.
3) Hats off to Tucker Devries, and Okani for stepping up big time today! We needed help because……
4) Small was obviously worn out today. Can’t blame him. Played his heart out this weekend.
5) Tough D on this team without the constant hacking (except for the refs vs Louisville).
6) Need to close out games better. Didn’t get a shot off vs Louisville and let AZ tie today when we had a 2 possession lead with under 1 minute left. But…….
7) We have been hitting clutch Free Throws. Great to see!
8) We need more depth. That will bite us in Big 12 play, just like it did last year.
I’m super excited for this team. I still expect ups and downs all year, but there should be some more good times, and this weekend was fun!
