You’re probably right; if that ‘event’ had happened off the court, Nix would at minimum have been a person of interest.

I think the better term would be non-call. That was not only a foul but illegal in most states!

Oh, and I hope that Thompson has no lingering after effects from the non-foul run-in with Nix…

A well done recap and analysis, Eric, thank you. Yep, it seems that this team is “getting it together” at the right time. Not only have they been winning, but looking like a solid ball club while doing so, IMO.

You’re absolutely right about DeShaun needing to work the paint for his offense; he’s very active, tenacious and effective there; his offense should start inside and work out.

I think your two negative points may be related; poor shot selection leading to god-awful results. Nearly half our FG attempts were 3′s (24 of 57), and we weren’t very good at it (7-24). DT was 2-11 with 3′s, so he wasn’t very helpful.

Granted, I’m sure that MSU’s size led us to be more of a perimeter shooting team yesterday, but doinking 3′s doesn’t extend a defense to open up the lane.

Go Bucks!
