Major Adjustments

The number of reasons ISU should have lost tonight is longer than the reasons they did win:

-Hangover from a really bad roadie in the state of Kansas;
-finding themselves down 8 in the first half
-scoring only 15 points int he first 20 minutes
-losing your best player to an ankle sprain early in the first
-giving up good looks and loose balls to a scrappy team that knows how to shoot


Yet ISU adjusted all of their problems away at the half, and turned in one of their better halves of basketball in the second:

-Wesley? Who needs Wesley? 2 points in 8 minutes? So what!
-Ten different players scored
-CU was held to 34% percent for the game, after shooting 44% in the first
-CU was only 3-14 from 3
-ISU finished +5 in rebounds, +3 in TO, and +7 in assists
-ISU scored 42 points in the second, and it could have been 50+ with free throws

With
or without Wesley, I expect Mac and crew to have a winnable scheme for
the sliding Huskers. As long as the offense doesn't fall into the same
discombobulated funk it was in the first half tonight,ISU can win on the road.
