This game illustrates why Self is obsessed with shutting down the lane and preventing easy buckets. The entire 2nd half and OT, Ellis and Black kept hedging out on the 3 (because they were hot from outside) and KSU kept rolling to the basket for layups. In the college game you MUST keep them throwing up long jumpers because 90% of the time they will go cold. And if not, you lose, so what. But chip shots are killers.
This is the first team he's had here that gives up easy buckets. Embiid had masked that quite a bit since he became a starter but when he's out, our post D goes to shit
