This was such a great win over NU. They have not played D like this since the Illinois win. I am still very concerned about the half-court offense. Today there were a lot of transition buckets because of the press, good D and lots of Wildcat misses. That will not always happen.
Against the 1-3-1 and matchup zone defenses, this team does not do well. They are getting marginally better. It is still a struggle to get the ball inside. Our big guys do not power the ball to the hoop to draw the foul very often. The inside-outside game is painful to watch at times. When the game slows down and it is a half-court game, we just do not grind well.
Let's hope our D and press can make our next three games transition games.
