As a result, Nelson got into trouble several times when he forced things.
Last night, it looked like he made a great adjustment -- drive until he meets resistance, then kick out. Later, when Wisconsin spread out to stop the 3s, he was able to get to the basket (although he didn't do a good job converting his opportunities).
