This team is done with moral victories but you can take some positives away from this weekend's games against SEC and Big East teams:
1. These games were against East Coast High-Major teams in their gyms. Rarely do mid-major teams win in environments like that. Both games were competitive and could have swung in the Bison's way if some shots would have dropped down the stretch. I would expect that we beat both teams if the played at the BSA.
2. Both Moorman and Tweidt established themselves with good games in both games. Moorman was more than up to the task against what most likely will be the best big men he will face the rest of the year. Luke also showed some low post scoring. Tweidt is starting to get comfortable. He could explode for some big games at anytime.
3. Turnovers by the Bison were reasonable. 15 againist Florida and 11 against Rutgers. In the past we have been in the 20's in most high-major games. We should be very solid with the ball against lesser competition.
4. Rebounding was considered a point of concern starting this season without Dre. The Bison were almost dead even with these two very long, athletic teams. This is a very good sign.
5. The Bison looked like a disciplined, well coached team that is more than up for the challange of playing anyone. They weren't intimidated or out- physicaled in these tough environments. That in itself shows we have arrived on the scene of big time basketball. This group feels they should win everytime they play. It is a fun team to watch.
Go Bison!
