I would have liked to seen either Deng or Samuelson get a few more minutes in his place, who just depending on who ORU had on the floor for us to match up with. With AJ that off he wasn't helping on offense so heading into the tourney it would've been nice to get one of those two guys some extra playing time and confidence boost. Confidence though is the reason I don't think Dave pulled AJ, he didn't want him getting down on himself heading into the tourney and left him on the floor to try to shoot out of it. 2-10 from 3 is rough but we won. On to Omaha to try to claim at least a share of the conference title! Going to be a Western Illinois fan tonight that's for sure.
This is hyperbole, He's shooting 44% from three this season. Has he been the model of consistency? No. But you don't shoot it 40+% from beyond the arc if you aren't effective 70% of the time.
Now this is the law of the prairie
As old and as true as the sky
And the Bison that keep it will prosper
And the Bison that break it will die
As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk
This law is the final word:
For the strength of the Herd is the Bison
And the strength of the Bison is the Herd.
