Great win tonight. Offense down the stretch was still questionable, but Nova could never really threaten because the defense was absolutely elite. Daniels, Dixon, and Slater were absolutely clamped up
Another 20 piece for Hawkins, the jumper wasn't going down but he's automatic at the line
Alex Karaban might have just won BE ROY from that game.
Newton's box score isn't great but I think he played a lot better than the stats show. Even when his shots don't go in, the offense is completely different when he's engaged
Andre Jackson. He has his confidence completely back and it's contagious. And if he's making his open rhythm threes? Completely different player
And how about 13-14 FT shooting? Hard to climb back into a game when the other team is knocking everything down from the line
This team is rolling going into March. We've checked off most boxes in the last month. We beat great teams (ran MU and PC off the floor), we beat the teams we were supposed to beat (GTown, SHU, SJU, DePaul), and we capped off the regular season by CONVINCINGLY winning a tough game on the road
Next week should be really really fun.
