Last Friday against an Iowa State team expected to be one of the nation’s best defensive clubs, we saw glimpses of what the 2025-26 Bluejays’ ceiling could be, specifically during a 7-1/2 minute stretch of the first half where they had a 23-0 run that featured 10 straight defensive stops. The second half gave Greg McDermott’s staff plenty of teaching moments on film, as the 46-23 lead they’d built in the first half let them go deep into the bench almost from the beginning of the second half. Perhaps as a result of their experimenting with lineups, they had 10 turnovers in the second half after committing just one in the first half.
