Fred did not have a great presser, blamed shooting mainly, but Iowa had a ton of easy shots/layupps and Nebraska had basically none in the 2nd half.

Against our 6th rated defense

Bring it

:otz:

Doesn’t change the fact you want to play the worst team possible. We should be rooting for every underdog in these conference tournaments

Don't get me wrong, I want a stress-free first game too.

But also don't want to start being afraid of teams if we're serious about making a deep run.

Not afraid of them but again, it’d be great to avoid a top 25 offense in round 1.

North Alabama is another team we could see that has considerably worse metrics than Lipscomb. Go NAU

Understand the metrics. And I highly doubt Otz and the team is afraid of anyone, and doubt they will take anyone lightly.

But I've watched enough NCAA tournaments to know it's very much a "be careful what you wish for" event. Just trying to fret as little as possible.

This really is a bad basketball game.

Soak it in hawk fans. This is Ben McCollum basketball. Games in the 50s. Boring AF.

#1 on Drake is a good lunch-pail type player but that was a bonehead play.
