I think we only moved up 1 when we beat Iowa... I know it depends on how everyone else does, but does that seem strange to you all? And Drew, I totally agree. I was impressed at our ability to get in there for the defensive rebounds in the first half, which I think have been lacking in some of our earlier games, but the second just got progressively more painful to watch as our boys got more desperate.

Why didn't Gibson get more PT? He would have matched up better against Tisdale and took the pressure off Sims of guarding him. 2. Why didn't Manny look to post up the smaller Frazier? He wasn't having a lot of success driving on him. 3. As someone suggested here earlier I believe, why don't we look to press if we're going to use a smaller, quicker lineup? 1.
