Why post this in the Maryland thread? Watch how OSU plays Reed. They were perfectly fine letting Okpara play him 1 on 1 and not leaving shooters. How many times, particularly in the 1st half, did Reese get the ball in the post and IU would dig and force themselves into rotation rather than letting Ware just contest? I know schematically Woody loves to dig the post, but you were never gonna lose that game by Reese getting 25 and fouling out your frontcourt.

We have had two of the best rim protectors the last two years and Woody acts like we have Collin Hartman playing center again. Overhelping on drives and post-ups for three years.
