Nice d Riley
Good defense Bam and Tomi hits that 3! Will was pushed out of bounds
He did not step out.
Now I may be biased. But we've got one of the best games of the tourney going so far. Been a lot of snoozers thus far.
Agree ... But they are REALLY letting them play ...
tomi 2/4 from 3.
The lanes are open, keep cutting.

Well, at least that keeps Tomi and Rez in the game lol
We have avoided foul trouble so far
For good or bad, they're gonna willingly let Swain have that shot all day.

As long as it's equal on both sides, it makes the game more fun to watch. I think it also gives us an advantage.
I like letting them play versus stars on the bench with fouls!
Yup. It's fine as long as we are winning lol
So far, we've had 7 points impacted by the refs. Xavier walked under the basket - no call - then passed out for a three. No foul call on KJ's drive, and I don't think Will stepped out. Always have to overcome more than our share of adversity it seems.
So long as they continue calling it both ways that's all you can ask for. Especially if that means we can go after the boards with no repercussions
It was close. If he did it wasn’t by much. I thought he turned his instep inward. But they can’t look at that.
Tomi with 0 is the biggest, IMO.

And then practically land on their toes with each 3pt attempt.

I'll take a 4/8 start from 3. That's an excellent start.
Happy with the effort and the wanting to win, among other things
