This doesn't really help us in the NCAA Tournament but the coaches (and players) have clearly shown that they can adjust the 2nd time around vs. the same opponent. The following is our repeat opponents' points per possession the 1st time we faced them vs. the 2nd time:
Minnesota- 1.33 to .98
Northwestern- 1.05 to 1.02
Rutgers- 1.06 to 1.01
Indiana- 1.19 to .99 (should've won that game)
MSU- 1.20 to .86
OSU- 1.27 to .86
If that can follow, we're in good shape next Sunday. Wisconsin scored .97 against us the first time. Regardless, the defense has been fantastic in the rematch every time. Defense is up to #59 on KenPom.
