Cousinard was 0-6 in the 2nd OT, which made his final stats look worse. He wasn't the same guy at the end, probably a combination of the Jays' defensive adjustment and fatigue.

Thank you Dana for setting the table, hats off to Greg for taking us to another level I could only dream of, I sat through Rick Johnson era with less than 1,000 fans in the stands. Thank you Bruce for bringing Dana to Omaha!!! Go Jays!

As for the supposed lack of adjustments, basketball is often a lot more complicated than the way in which we choose to talk about it.
Oregon didn't run much ball screen action in the first half. A lot of what Couisnard got was in transition or off-ball situations where guys fell asleep somewhat.
They got him some mid-post touches for ISOs early in the second half, then started going to more ball screens. The drop worked a little bit early, but then Couisnard got going a bit (and the illegal screens definitely helped that). Midway through the half, they had Kalkbrenner hedge a few screens then swarmed Dante on the roll, and it forced a couple of turnovers.
After Creighton tied it up, Kalkbrenner showed and recovered and Couisnard made a great lob pass to Dante. Then he went into kind of a high drop and Couisnard got downhill; Ashworth dug in off the corner and got a hand on the ball, forcing a wild shot, but Kalkbrenner left his feet to challenge it as well and the ball went right to Dante. Kalk dropped again on the next possession and Couisnard missed a floater instead of challenging him.
They stuck with the drop to start OT and Couisnard hit a floater on the first possession. After that, they trapped him a few times to get the ball out of his hands to great success. Oregon didn't run a single ball screen with the 5 in OT, instead having Evans set a couple.
Couisnard shot 2-14 in the last 15 minutes of the game.

They don't care if it takes 100 shots to get 25 points, they don't watch and see that the scoring is almost entirely as a result of Kalk defending others and not actually scoring one v. one, they completely ignore everything else about his defense and our system, etc.

I saw Jacob ran the stats via Synergy, and on direct one-on-battles Dante was 4-of-10 with a turnover. That's pretty damn good as far as I'm concerned.
