Death taxes and solomon traveling
Good example of how actually passing to a rolling big puts a defense into scramble mode. Solo panicked, but had the right idea. Would have been an easy layup.

IMO it’s been a missed part of the offense.

I'm not sure how we don't get calls in our drives but they do. Are we not creating the same contact? Need to lean on more or less with elbows more?

Been an issue with both Hoiberg and Prohm. They seem to coach guys to avoid the contact rather than going through the defender. That's why we often see crazy reverse layups that have a relatively low percentage.

I agree. I sucked so bad, I needed the contact because I couldn't do any of the fancy stuff these kids can. So it is just odd to me. Watch reaves, I think he gets away with too much, but he knows how to make contact and either get the bucket or the foul or both. Still gets away with leading with elbows way too much.
 
Three point shot falling and keeping ISU in it. If it’s not falling in the second half this could get ugly. Solomon playing really well on the offensive end. Getting some nice offensive rebounds to go along with his game.

I don’t hate that half. But we need to quit turning the ball over. Also, Solomon Young needs to take less shots. We can still run the offense thru him, but he needs to be pass-dominant in the 2nd half. It only took OU 10 minutes to realize they need to double him in the post.
