[QUOTE="aaeismacgychel, post: 1853355, member: 748794"] Absolutely agreed. The game was a blowout in everything but the final score. Our defense was truly exceptional tonight, forcing a typical OSU possession to end in a low percentile shot. In fact, almost the entire night, OSU's shot quality was unfathomably terrible. While people can look at OSU's 37% FG% and think they had an off-shooting night, in reality, they had a tremendous shooting night for the shots they took, as their expected FG% had to be under 25% for the game. Our defense was that good. Quite frankly, there's no way OSU should've been able to put up even 50pts today. When we play defense that way, shoot free throws the way we did, and play aggressively, we are an incredibly tough team to beat. Just got to bring it consistently game to game. If we can get there, sky is the limit. 2 huge road games in our next 3 games, just bring what we brought today and good things will happen [/QUOTE]
