If you guard people hard and make them work way more than they are used to, they get tired and don’t shoot as well, even when they come open.Not sure how much was actually defense versus poor shooting. Make no question that the defense had more than a few moments, but early in the second half, the Bison could not get ANYTHING to fall despite having had many good looks. And since that was going on at the same time Texas was struggling, Texas was fortunate to maintain that double-digit lead.
Once the three point shots began falling, it was clear Texas felt they had it in hand and began actually having some fun. If only they had played that way all season long...
