Just replayed the last minute, great defense by Lubick stepping up to key so Fisher couldnt get his shot off with 7 seconds to go!

Amazing game!
Huge win!
SCREW ESPN for cutting away from our game. We clearly fall to pieces when our fans aren't allowed to watch on TV. I flipped out when they switched away and flipped out even more when we came back to that mess we created.
Huge Game by our bigs: Julian, Henry, Nate played great games.
Austin Freeman is the Beast of the Big East! Phenomenal game by Austin.
Way to go hoyas! WOWOWOWOWOWOW! ;D

I thought a key was Yarou's 4th foul - when he was in, Nova got rebounds (his two offensive in a row were huge) & blocks that they didn't get when he was out. They made their runs when he was in.
The keys on our side were just what everyone is saying: Austin, and very tough/clutch play by our bigs. Great FT shooting by everyone. Agree that JT's substitutions were excellent, too.

Great win, great Austin and Julian... those free throws!
If you haven't seen it already, head over to CasualHoya.com and read Aaron Bowen's in- game tweets... pretty good stuff there and there is no doubt about that kid's heart. Examples:
(re: Austin's big shot): "that shot jus made my damn shoulder hurt BIG shot Boi!"
and later: " I think I have to go back into surgery... good win y'all boys"
Get well Aaron!

That was awful. The last 0.3 seconds was not worth staying with, at least split screen it at that point!

Great stats of the game: Free 30 pts, team 16-17 FT (Julian 7-7).
Weird stats of the game: Chris 0 pts, Nate 1 reb.

When it came back and we were up three with them on the line, I thought I was going to burst a blood vessel. Awful.

Except for 2 minute span late in the game, chris' stats are misleading. He had a solid game on both ends

Awesome game from start to finish.
Kudos to Hank for playing inspired basketball in the first half and to JV for the same in the second half.
Austin seems to have shaken his mini-slump and is playing like the Austin we need to go deep in the tourney.
Nate, please don't do a pull-up on the rim EVER AGAIN.
Chris had a solid game.
No way I thought this team could be beat Nova with Chris and Hollis combining for two points, but they found a way and that in and of itself is encouraging going forward.

Also, a well officiated game, in my opinion. When we get fair officiating, we have always been a force. Not a lot of stupid hand check calls, not a lot of blocks called every time a player got inside against us. Fair game. Nova cant say anything about it. We pwned them.

It was probably mentioned, but was I the only one who was nervous when Nate dunked the ball, hung on the rim, and slammed the backboard? Yikes. That made me nervous.

WarrenNolan has our RPI #5 and SOS at #2 now. Hearing Pasch say during a break that after the Pitt game, some people were wondering if we were going to make the tournament was laughable not because of how we were playing, but the absurdity that a team with our RPI and SOS, even after that loss, would've been in danger of missing the tournament. Just made me chuckle a little bit. |

He had Nova's #2 hit his legs. If Nate doesn't grab it, he would have ended on the floor. It could have been called a T on Nova.

In hindsight, I think we should all be thrilled that they cutaway during the near collapse. I would have surely broken my remote and possibly the TV itself when Chris Wright threw the ball away. What we got to see afterwards though was a spectacular stand against a re-energized top ten team at their house. Composure!

Thoughts:
- Great defensive effort again. If we can continue playing well on defense, we can be scary good.
- Still absolutely LOVING the big lineups. Our offense has not collapsed, and our defense plays MUCH better with the bigger lineups. According to ESPN box, Vaughn/Lubick/Sims/Benimon played a combined 77 minutes, which means Hollis was playing the vast majority of his minutes at the 3 again. I feel bad for Hollis that he is playing fewer minutes overall, but it is best for the team.
- What is it about our team taking NBA range 3-pointers? I swear it seems like every time there is an NBA 3-point line we just can't help it. The first 5 or 6 3-point attempts we took today were beyond the NBA line.
