While the defense is getting the attention, it's actually a change in offensive strategy that is fueling the success. With injuries, defections, and just seeing where we were offensively, Ford pulled the plug on trying to play up-tempo. The result is we limit possessions, run out opportunities, and have more energy on the defensive end. It allows us to get by with basically 7-8 players most nights. We are holding our own on the boards despite starting 4 guards and a forward[ but our top 7 are all 6'4 -6'8] , but obviously can be beat down low at times. Our margin for error remains pretty thin , but he reduced it significantly with the changes. I imagine we will still be a bit up and down, but again, we are seeing what actual coaching looks like. Lusk didn't make a significant change in 7 years , not off season, preseason, mid season or mid game.


Agreed! It is nice to see a coach make some adjustments. I wish some of our coaches in other sports knew how to make adjustments as well... That aside, I would have liked to see them run a better play to close out regulation. At least Ford called a timeout to talk about it. That gives me confidence. Lusk would have just let the team scramble and see what they could find open on the fly... That rarely worked out for him. The only instances that I can think of is when Dequon Miller was a Junior, and he took the ball coast to coast against Oklahoma State, and UNI. Other than that, we lost so many games on the last possession during his tenure it made me sick. I am going to have to retrain my gut to not always expect the bad outcomes.

The officials gave Loyola the game versus UNI 13-2 foul differential in the second half. Maybe the league should actually look at the officials instead of just reprimanding coaches for speaking the truth.

Just because there is a foul differential doesn't mean the refs "gave" a team the game. Loyola was attacking down low a lot more while UNI was shooting 3's. Attacking down low tends to lead to more foul calls.

Biased, of course, but I didn't see a whole lot of questionable calls on UNI or missed calls on Loyola.

IMO the refs can never give a team a game because they do not effect any team's ability to put the ball in the hole. That is how you win the game, after all. UNI had a decent first half lead that they blew. Also, lets focus on what really did the Panthers in last night; Krutwig hit a 3 pointer.

And Skokna went 3 for 4 after coming in shooting 15%. That's the game. Very entertaining game all the way around.
