Great effort by all tonight. Congrats Huskies!

It's March. It's what they do.

"We're totally in sync."

Shhhhhhh...

No worries man.

This is the first bball thread I have ever set up. If we lose, it will be the last.

Whew! I can do this again sometime...

As the penguins did in Madagascar, just smile and wave, boys, smile and wave.

There have been at least three possessions that will not be seen in the stat sheet, but Brimah absolutely changed them...

Don't forget Purvis' defense. Even bigger and am so won't show on his stats.

I've been the biggest fan of Rodney's defense all year (with much backlash from the Yard). He's our best on ball defender in my opinion, and he showed it again tonight...

Takeaways. Adams showed up. Rodney showed up. Vital and Jackson were what they are. Facey....still a no show. So tomorrow...Facey returns to the promised land. This is possible.

Dotson killed us in the past. Rodney neutralized Dotson.

Vital and Jackson were the early stars. Then Purvis then JALEN AND Brimah.

They all stepped up their game, and Jalen was simply awesome.

I have to say, when I saw Purvis come to the table after thinking he was knocked out for good, I had chills run down my spine. I think that moment really gave the team a boost. I finally understand the Willis Reed moment now...

Everyone had their moments. Hell even Kentan who's been downright awful got a huge put back and to his credit gave the two hands up while looking up like "about time", maybe a little confidence seeing one go in?

Jalen was amazing in the 2nd half. Rodney, what a heart that guy had he was down and out for a minute tough . Vital, big play making the cut on a nice pass from Brimah. Vance hit a monster 3.

Though the staff made an awful mistake to start the 2nd half going to the lob play out of the gate. Jalen came off the screen and had a wide open 12 footer but waited of the play then throw a lob to AB who pushed a 5'10 guy I'm thinking oh crap! Then they run off 4 straight quick ones and we get a TO, "here we go, uh oh". Our guys make a run, UH makes a run then AB comes back in and in this 3 minute run he makes a huge difference a couple blocks, couple shot changes and a great tip in. They kept their poise, made the right plays, some big shots and here we are dreaming again. Not really, but maybe a little! LOL
