MJ is right about the transition baskets making the difference, but I think I was right about where they came from--OU's extended half-court man-to-man pressure on Harvard. They spent the first five minutes of the second half playing that way, forcing TOs and making Harvard shoot out of rhythm in a way that made it hard for them to get back on D. After they got the big lead, for some reason they backed off again.

But that's not the same as saying that the Sooners didn't play well the rest of the time when they were basically trading baskets, just that their tactical choice puzzled me. It was a well-played game the whole way.
