Need to keep our defensive intensity up so we can get out in transition and stop taking the ball out of the freaking net.

This isn't because ISU is playing bad.

Right now, UAB is better, and this isn't a thing where ISU's just going to be have to come out and simply kick it up a notch to win handidly.

First tournament game under Fred where we didn't dominate both halves of the first game. Pretty crazy how good we were the last few years in the first round (or 2nd whatever you want to call it)

Was hoping this team would decide to actually play a full game, but I suppose an entire season of evidence is too much to overcome.

Didn't like our effort after we got up 12-2. Apparently we just expected UAB to lay down and give up at that point. Way too sloppy. Need to play smarter and not turn the ball over, and we'll be fine.

Wrong. Take away dumb plays by Nader and a few wide open misses by Naz and we are leading by 7 or 8 at half instead.

I kinda mad we are only down 3. If we were down double digits I would feel better about things - you know, more in the norm.

Everyone chill.. Naz is nowhere. Foul Trouble. Rebounds? we are down a few points. We got this...
My biggest concern is UAB hasn't played well.
