agree! Lots of excellent defensive plays.
I thought we were overwhelmed inside at the start, trying again to play Tyler in the post. Once we got Mara in there, it was a different story. They were able to use the strength of their two bigs in there together - Kepnang at the 5 allowing them to use Osobor more at the 4 - to move Aday away from the hoop but overall that lineup gives us our best chance to winning down the stretch.
Kepnang and Osobor are not to the level of Golden and Wolf, but this was a bit test - especially without Bilodeau on offense - and we did well. On the road. Against an opponent that is going to get better now that they have their center back again.
lafong was just nervous because he promised us a win so we could go to bed early and UW didn't lie down and made it close late. But it's okay, lafong, helped some of us get a better night's sleep last night. Thanks!
