At the end of the day basketball is a make or miss game. UNI made more shots than us tonight. We gave them some open one with bad defense, but they hit a TON of tough shots including about 5-6 NBA threes. Meanwhile we have good shooters missing open shots over and over including Cook air balling a WIDE open 3. Jesperson is a great shooter, but he wont have a game like that again this year, same with Washpun who normally shoots in the lost 30%s from 3 in his career.
I thought we actually played a lot tighter defense and played with more composure offensively than we did against Iowa. We didn't panic just couldn't hit that big 3 to take a lead and UNI kept making them (we really didn't give them a good look the entire 2nd half but they still made some really long ones.)
Its just one game, need to forget about and keep trying to get better. Its clear the offense needs to be run from inside out. Hopefully they keep with that as the year goes on.
On a positive note, Burton looks like he might be even better than I had hoped. He's going to be taking minutes from Nader pretty quick if he Nader doesn't get his act together.
