Looks like we're starting to match their energy

Defense turns to offense. Defense turns to offense. Defense turns to offense.
And a few drives to the basket by AYO would be nice.

NAh these passes are atrocious
Turnovers and free throws.
NW getting some semi lucky bounces and tough shots to fall.
We need to feed Kofi and make simple plays on offense, trying to do to much.

Y’all see Kofi’s hustle diving for that loose ball, popping up, and full sprinting back on D?
Bad run here, but we’re playing hard. We’ll be fine. Just hope it’s at least 12.5 points fine.

When being the 5th ranked team in teh country isn't even fun ...
Sorry, forgot my second half beet juice shot. My bad! Be right back.

You're both right. NU kicked their defensive intensity into a higher gear. They can't sustain it though, especially if we start going back to the middle.
The inability of this group to play a solid 40 minutes and only play really well in stretches will be it's undoing. We're 20 games in and nothing has really changed in regards to consistency.
Ayo works best against a man to man d.

Big man gets down the floor faster than anyone his size I've ever seen. A big contrast to Garza's Sasquatch shuffle.Jesus did anyone see Kofi get up fast and sprint back?? Scary stuff if he sprints at you lmao

We are extremely consistent in playing to the level of the competition. Which means we’re either going to lose to a 15 seed or go to the final four.
It looks like we are just trying to speed up the game at all costs - which is fine, when we are under control. We are getting loose and out of control to do it, though.

Here comes the ol' 5 minute review by the sage officiating crew. Order WILL be restored soon!

Hard foul, not flagrant. Play on.
This lineup could make or break this game depending on what they do over the next couple minutes

Why are they reviewing an obvious Giorgi foul? Because Collins cried?
He used to put those shots up in high school.
Collins convinced Borosky to look at a play where there is nothing to look at
