Kudos to Stutz and the WSU coaching staff for some great halftime adjustments. The first half game plan had them absolutely frustrated. Stutz looked like a completely different player during the second 20 minutes. That's the best 40 minutes of basketball I've seen ISU play all year outside of the Vandy game...and they still made some costly bad decisions in the last five minutes. As much as Lathan has been a breath of fresh air this year compared to last, you can still tell exactly when he's going to be selfish with the ball...head down and shoulders low. If the trees can somehow find a way to even be the 6 seed, they could make a little noise in St Louis with the way they've been playing the last 10 days. That Thursday to Friday turnaround is just brutal, though...have to miss those games...and it may be too late.
