We have Ayo and they don't
Looks like we're going to survive again. How many games would we have lost this year without Dosunmu bailing the team out at the end?

Ayo continues to solidify his legacy, but this team is so immature with a lead. Total letdown again after completely dominating the game early. Must be fixed in the next week or we will not enjoy March.
That deep three made me feel...things.

W is a W is a W
Ayo is something else.
Yeah, making less than 60% of your free throws is usually a recipe for disaster

This is tape our future opponents will look at very closely. Even when we're playing well we have weaknesses, and those weaknesses were on full display tonight.

Man I love ayo that game scares me for next year but doesn’t matter got the win
Someone mentioned Northwestern’s Ken Pom luck rating being poor in the pregame, well, it went up A LOT from their second half buckets. They hit some tough shots.

Audige had a couple rim out too. He single handidly could have won them this one.
Why was Ayo not on him late?

and cut the turnovers way down
I know a win is a win, and teams rarely drop in the rankings when they win, but we shouldn't be a Top 5 team. There is no excuse for letting both Nebraska and Northwestern take the game down to the wire. The Big 10 is a great conference, but the gimme games shouldn't be this difficult.
Why do I feel this team might be down 1 with the ball in the NCAA final against Gonzaga, or be down 1 with the ball in the first round against Siena, or both.

It will be a Class A felony if Garza wins POY over him
