My takeaways from the game:
1. I take back anything negative I've ever said about Hickman. He was lights out from 3 and he was stuck in Born's face for the entire game. It got so bad for Born, that he was often unable to even get the ball and UNI actually made their runs against us without him on the court. Jacobsen even seemed to limit his minutes due to his ineffectiveness. Great job, Connor!
2. Rienk Mast does not have 2 bad halves in a row. He had an abysmal first half as far as scoring goes and couldn't miss in the second. This seems to be his MO. Guy is just a stud.
3. Team 3 point shooting was lights out. So nice to see a 3 go up and just expect it to go in. If not for the turnovers, this game would have been an absolute blowout.
4. Speaking of turnovers, if we had a weak spot (besides free throw shooting), it would be the turnovers from lazy passes that Joe mentioned earlier, especially during the press. Just no reason for it.
All in all, hard to complain about a road win at UNI. Been a long time since we've had one, and it felt pretty good to be there. Nice meeting BigMike and DublR for the first time, and the UNI fans are probably the nicest ones we've met on our road travels. Just too bad Drake pulled out the double overtime win, but hey, we held serve. Just gotta keep winning and everything else will take care of itself.
