Really tough to play on consecutive days when your opponent is well rested. They really stack the deck against the lower teams.
Maybe this is part of the reason Self opted to rest his good players. Uphill battle.

If you look at ISU's shot chart, they made one three-point shot, two other shots from outside the paint, and every other shot that ISU made was in the paint.

They’re not that good offensively and Jones did play over his head but you could use that film for a defense basketball clinic. First night vs. back to back certainly helped them out a bunch.

Came down to the final game. But result was not unexpected. ISU was too physical for us. And got into our heads so we turned it over with very poor execution. Fatigue may have played a role and we were not fundamentally and mentally strong enough regardless the reason.
In the tournament, I do wonder if ISU will be allowed to body up on traps like they did tonight. Their defense relies on getting a body into the offensive player and knocking him of balance. Worked well in the physical Big 12. Be interesting to watch.
Regarding NIT.
If you have seen enough, you do not have to watch. I see NIT as prep for next year.

Yep, because in the Big12 you can mug the other team but in the tournament they don't let that style of basketball be played. They will be in foul trouble and have to play defense were you can't mug them. Not easy to change after playing 30 games like that.

I think Iowa State will do well in the tournament. They don't turn the ball over and they are very good defensively. I am looking forward to watching us play in the NIT. We will have a chance to rest and I think we could do very well in the NIT. Time will tell.

There is not prep anymore for next year with the transfer portal. It used to be that way but roster turnover every year is what you get with NIL and transfers rules.xtrawildcat wrote: ↑March 14th, 2024, 8:25 pmCame down to the final game.
