Well good for them. I'm sure there was an extra chicken nugget in it for the boys if they got this W.

I passed out early, what did I miss?

We had lots of movement off the ball, made shots, and went to the basket. Things we really haven't seen much of this year. We looked good for a change. Like someone else said, I really thought either the refs would take over, or we would go into our usual scoring drought and make it a close game that we would lose. We made plays when we needed them. We still need to work on FTs. If we keep this kind of play up, we will be there.

Hey HTL, my country bumpkin ass just called the Hogs in the middle of the MGM too. Fuck you!!

After a huge win and that piece of shit is nowhere to be found. Guarantee he would be here shit talking had we lost.  Fuck that kid.

I have shat on Davis just about every game, but he had his best game of the season by far. 3-6 from 3 and 7-14 total from the field, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals to only 2 turnovers. If we were getting that from him every night we'd be in a much different position. All the starters scored in double digits last night. That's gotta be a first for this year, I'd imagine. I know this is the team Cal envisioned when he signed all these guys.

Aidoo is still ass, though.

The offensive movement away from the ball looked much better. Shots were falling, and turnovers weren't a problem. You know after all the cameras and mics were gone, Cal had to have a fuck yeah moment to himself.

[jdcatty]

We made shots and played defense.  Period.

[Sus-Scrofa]

Just turned the game on for a replay.

I promise I won't restart watching and mess things up.

He'll be ok.  Just take a couple Midol and wash them down with a soy latte' and it will all be better.

It's why I said that the only way for us turn this around was to get Davis going. He is a much better player than he has shown. Last night was the first time I've seen him aggressive on offense. I thought he set the tone in the first half and that gave everyone else confidence.

He is definitely a key cog. Him being effective opens up opportunities for the other guys.

Completely different player when he's attacking and not passing up every drive to the basket. He still had some bizarre moments trying to handle the ball. Not sure if he had those issues at FAU, but it's almost like he gets stuck trying to figure out what to do while he's doing it, if that makes sense. But other than that, no complaints. There really wasn't much to complain about with anyone. The defense was relentless, UK just hit some really tough shots.

It was nice to finally be on the other end of a game where a team would claw back within a couple of buckets and immediately fall behind by double digits again. We answered every single run they had.

I agree that the rest of the team fed off of him and it was huge to help get us through the emotions of the first 5 minutes. I've shit on him as much as anyone. Justifiably so. If he continues to play like that then we'll be a tournament team.

12-16 on free throws is pretty good. 

I was pleasantly surprised that Thiero made 10-12.  If he can keep that up he will score 20 plus on just about everyone we play.

That is pretty good. However the ones we missed were ass clinching time.

Yeah Wagner was gassed by the time he shot his.
