Nader made some incredibly difficult finishes. To get to the next level we need that Nader and BDJ. Makes us such a better team. Just need Thomas to give us 5-10 minutes of mistake free ball.
Great job Nader

One significant factor in winning all three tournament games was the opportunities the team gave themselves by getting so many steals and having less than half the number of turnovers as the other three teams.
Steals ISU 8 Texas 2 --------T/O ISU 5 Texas 13 MM had 5 thefts
Steals ISU 12 Okla 3 --------T/O ISU 8 Okla- 14 Geo and BDJ each had 3 steals
Steals ISU 7 Kans- 2 ---------T/O ISU 6 Kans- 13
ISU won the steals race 27-7 and less T/0 ISU 19 the other 3 teams 40
Could it be we have another secret weapon?
One thing that was down was our assists which is very surprising because we had less in all three games than our opponent.

Naz struggled with his threes, but had two crucial drives to the hoop. My favorite was where he got the ball / rebound in the lane, dribbled his guy out and around a screen, and his guy thought he was going to jack up a 3. Naz just turned around and took the open route for the bucket. Beautiful.
Same here. He played really well Saturday night however. Played a little more team ball and was a bit more selective in choosing his moments. Typically I feel he's a bit of a black hole in getting the ball - he's going to shoot. Didn't do that as much in the championship and it served him well.
I love Nader's size and skill set all year. Kid seems to be figuring it out at the right time. Not many people can keep him out of the lane when he is motivated to get there.
