Message: [QUOTE="Scrutineer, post: 5096962, member: 8240"] So many good observations already posted on this game. One thing that stood out to me was how excited, upbeat and positive the vibes were from the bench. When players came off the floor it looked like the last minute of the NC game with all the smiles and high fives. Maybe it's because so many got to play meaningful minutes but more likely the culture Dan Hurley has developed. Also, to reiterate on rebounding and defense, it was so obvious tonight how much DC controlled the games last year when you see how clogged the lane was when Rhody was on offense in the first half. It often looked like all five of their players were in the lane and our guards had a lot of fouls they wouldn't have had last year because they didn't have to reach in against guys who got around them on their drives to the basket with DC there to block or alter the shots.
