I'm proud of this team for finding a way to win their final home AAC game when they played or at least shot so horribly. Really proud of Williamson and Phelps who on a night when they couldn't hit the wall with a shot managed to key this victory. When has Zhuric ever made 10-10 FTs with every one of them so important? Sam was the definition of grit with 13 boards (and several tips to a teammate keeping a possession alive), 3 assists, 2 blocks and a steal and as poorly as both guys shot they each made clutch buckets down the stretch to help win this game tonight.
You are right that they need to keep winning if they want to play in the NIT. I'd be shocked if this team can put it all together for the next 4 games and earn the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament but I suppose stranger things have happened. Just shake off the ugly part of tonight and beat UAB!
