I think in hindsight, much of Punch's confidence & comment was based on the expectation of matching up against Tilly. He owned Tilly in this game & OSU played right into his hands by not changing the lineup more.Bucks have been average at best for so long now, it's hard to be enthusiastic about next season. They need to play faster and more physical and get more rebounds. Put pressure on the other team's defense, put them on their heels. I suppose they need a deeper bench for faster play. They seemed to be too tired to score late in almost every game this season, even with the slow tempo.
Frogs outrebounded the Bucks by 6, which was the average rebound margin for the frogs over the last month or so. So we're totally average among Big12 teams, even with two 7-footers against a team whose tallest player is 6'-8". Trash talking butthole, Dave Punch (6'-7"), had 13 boards. That's disgusting. He's only a sophomore, not some wily senior.
If they do well in the portal, we'll see what Dieb does with that. As of now it's hard to have hope they will win 25 games next year.
