Last night I was a little more worried. Looking today, if you read the box score every stat is pretty solid except the shooting numbers. 15 assists, 9 TOS, 10 fouls, 83% from the line. They outrebounded us, but equal on the offensive board, defensive board numbers just show how many misses we had.
Really came down to shooting. Thought it was interesting that Lucas and Aher didn’t start 2OT. Not sure if it was because of minutes or because their shots weren’t there. They still added in 8 of our 15 assists between the two of them.
Not a lot of teams win those games! Bank it and hope that we start pouring it in this weekend
During the game the difference in DR frustrated me but as you stated after I dove into the stats it made sense. Valpo out rebounding us goes in hand with us shooting poorly and also taking eight more total shots than them. Overall I was impressed that we were able to overcome our shooting woes and still win the game. The biggest positive I noticed from this game was how accurate the teams FT % was. I’m glad the team has some time to rest up and get their legs back.
