Great win--that's a tough spot for a game. Elevation. Second meeting. Coming off Christmas break when I assume most went home for a few days. Nice to come out with the W.
A few random thoughts:
A few random thoughts:
- Brandton Chatfield. Wow, what a beast he was last night. Relentless! If he continues like that, our potential takes another leap. (Now, if we can just work on the free throws
) - Around the three-four minute mark (I may be off a minute or so), TJ was really screaming at the team. Any heads up on that? Unlike him--was it just motivation, or was he ticked at something?
- This team finishes games (well, excluding Auburn). So fun to watch. Dayton, Marquette, Iowa, and last night. There's just a confidence that we will prevail.
- The depth we have--with Chatfield and Heise and of course Curtis (what a tool Curtis is to come off the bench!).
- With that said, I thought Heise should have had more minutes in the first half, but that's nit picking
- Height/size/depth inside. Come March, in my book, that is a major attribute that separates the men from the boys. And, we have it, for perhaps the first time EVER.
- Nice to have the game on network television last night, but can't wait for the TNT/CBSSN to kick into full gear next season. By quick count, we have EIGHT games on ESPN+ this conference season. I'm getting used to it, but for exposure--that's rough.
- For those wanting to see us rise to a potential number 1 ranking--probably would not happen next week (if we would beat Baylor)
- We have Baylor on Saturday
- #2 Auburn hosts Missouri on Saturday
- #1 Tennessee hosts Norfolk State today and Arkansas on Saturday
