My viewpoint comes from watching multiple MIAA games this year and seeing what teams in our league are capable of, nothing to do with NW. Wayne St and Western did not look like Regional quality teams in any way. I kept waiting to see the great defense from Wayne St that I've heard NSIC fans reference but never saw it. How many of those 3's were WIDE open that Moorhead hit?
Washburn went nearly 6 minutes without scoring in the first half and let Western stay in the game. As I said, NW has played 3 times against Washburn and never seen that version of Washburn.

Pretty much this. Dragon started off 6 for 7 from 3, which is hard to do even unguarded. WSC started off 0 for 9, which is very uncharacteristic.
The game was called pretty tight, which is fine, but that worked against Wayne's ball pressure and led to immediate foul trouble. It felt like each team shot a ton of free throws. It didn't help that McCullough was hurt, further limiting Wayne's depth.
Congrats to the Dragons. They are well coached as always, and they solved Wayne's pressure in a way that few teams have this year.
Congrats also to the Wayne players and coaches. They far exceeded everyone's expectations for the year. Can't ask for more than that.

That day is an example of how you can't judge a team after only seeing them one or two times. Washburn was not very impressive that day.

After watching the guards from NW, Washburn, Western, Missouri Southern, etc go at it this year it's hard for me to see how that was good ball pressure last night but to each their own.
Nothing against any of the teams, they had to earn the chance to be there throughout the year and did. Just didn't look real impressive last night. Western is a great example- they were playing as good as any team in the country then had a covid pause. They lost around 7 in a row after that and were never the same the rest of the season.
