VCU had one good run and Illinois promptly snuffed it out going into halftime. Again showing the versatility offensively and locked it down defensively.
For the most part, this team has been fun to watch. Its clear that they all get along and they play together. I'm happy for them. Now, let's beat Houston!
I missed the 1st Half as it was my first Daddy-Daughter Dance. Saw the highlights. Andrej got the memo and was driving and scoring when we needed it badly.
Second half with great adjustments. Keaton, Kylan and Amdrej were relentless going to the basket and that’s exactly what we needed. It opened everything up from the outside as well.
Defense played stout in second half. Forced a bunch of turnovers. What was most impressive was the communication amongst the players and when they switched and switched back. I felt that was a huge key to getting many stops and forced T.O.
This team. No matter what happens next they are amazing. The post game interviews are fun to watch and show their camaraderie. They represent us so well.
And a special shout out to Petro for the douchey ball give to the VCU player as time expired
I’ve ripped coaching staff and Tomi a lot this year, but both deserve a ton of credit. Phenomenal game plan and stuck with it. And Tomi played hard and physical. That team could win it all!
