I thought the Maryland loss looked very similar to the last Creighton loss and the Nova loss. Except Maryland did a better job eliminating Sanogo.
I actually just drove from West Lafayette to Nashville to visit some relatives. Been thinking about this much of the drive. How did those games look so similar. In each of those games we basically watched Cole and Bouk dance around the perimeter.
I think the defensive game plan against us was super simple. For the man defending Bouk, never bite on any of his hesitation dribbles and never leave your feet. Force Bouk to shoot jump shots. I think it was that simple for the opposing team. It was so easy and so effective it looked like we were playing the exact same opponent with the exact same personnel and the exact same defensive scheme.
