Obi consistently let him get too deep in the paint where he could shoot that jump-hook shoot. That aside, the Flyers knew what they needed to do defensively and they accomplished that. I think that was the key to winning the game.

The same defense that guarded the 3 last night well, couldn't guard back cuts from a DIII team.
That is something that needs to get shored up. If North Florida wasn't so 3 ball dependent (which is what we can guard) then there wasn't much that would prove that we can guard off ball movement and cuts to the rim.
