[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1506528, member: 3916"] Just watched the BTN in 60 replay of the game from last nite and that was such an enjoyable game to watch..not just b/c we won, but it was entertaining b/c of the flow of the game...it was a fast paced game featuring athletic plays by both teams , hard fought to the bitter end.. We withstood their push at the end by playing fundamental BB and , I have to say, our change of our defensive scheme to a more pack line D and keeping our opponents in front of us has allowed us to have 3-4 players rebounding on the defensive end...I think we grew up a lot from the MD game as shown by the hustling up or down the court after a stoppage in place to discuss as a team what our next step was...i saw a team maturing on the court last nite and declaring we have had enough of the close calls and we have arrived as a top 25 team , based on our play ... Whatever has been said in practice or off court within the players, Kofi , when asked last night about our team chemistry , stated " we do everything together , going to the movies, bowling , eating etcetc " and he also praised the coaches as being hard on him and he appreciate's that... We had a big need , as a team , from last years team....And the answer has been Kofi Cockburn....he is a unique talent and we should stop and really recognize how he has transformed this team into a tourney team....thank you Kofi....
