[QUOTE="Piotyr, post: 1586820, member: 747104"] Game...not pretty. Season...not over. [ATTACH type="full"]7420[/ATTACH] Ayo hero ball for the last 10 minutes not withstanding, the offense tonight wasn't up to par with season averages, and they let Nebraska hang around with their own offense. Kofi was actually very good on both ends of the court, ran out of gas a bit at the end, particularly on FTs. Miller and Hawkins contributed well offensively and defensively, and DMW put in a full night's work defensively with Frazier. Would have been a little easier had Trent hit a few more shots or Ayo/Kofi hit a couple front ends of FTs, but the win is a B-level win anyway. Curbelo with a second straight subpar game, but he'll have some time to sort himself out. The team overall started slow, which was expected with the 6 day layoff while Nebraska was playing their 4th game in the stretch. The disappointment was midway through the second half when they just couldn't put Nebraska away thanks to a lacking rebounding effort and laziness with the ball on offense, just a lack of urgency. I get Nebraska isn't exactly Michigan, but gotta play with the same intensity every game, not just for the highlights. [/QUOTE]
