Most important numbers are Coleman's:

Shot 100% from the field.

7/7 from 3 and 1/1 from 2. His season best was 50% back on 1/5 against UConn when he went 2/4 from 3 and 6/12 from 2. Would have preferred the Coleman who went 0/7 against St Joseph's.

Hard to win when someone becomes possessed by Satan himself and goes off like that and shots 100%.
