I need to see the +/- for Harris because he just changes games when he comes in!

Yep, UCLA game was the preview

I know it's early, but that's a big resume win on a neutral court.

We were the Orange Avengers tonight, with different young men stepping up at different chapters of the game to play the role of superhero.

Mayer early. Melendez in critical spots of the second half. Epps late. Shannon Jr. in OT.

What a win.

What a way to obliterate all lingering particles of doubt that we in fact have the ingredients for greatness.

I could run through a wall right now. What a comeback. Way to close out a game.

[ChiefGritty]

You've got some kind of culture if you can play that bad and still beat a team that good away from home.

 

[Goillinikobd]

[illini80]

TSJ didn’t have it tonight. Until he did. Wow, how many points did he have in overtime?

 

[WeWillWhen]

Matt Mayer: 21 points on 8-10 shooting, 5-5 from behind the arc. In MSG. Big Time!

 

[Orangetool]

So happy for Epps, won the game for us.

We have great freshmen.

Man, Jayden Epps is an absolute MAN. Ice cold. Incredible stuff from a freshman.
