What a thrill today was! So shorthanded, but the team played with a can-do attitude the entire 55 minutes. How great is the conditioning of this squad to play all those minutes at such a high, competitive level. Gurdak's effort in particular was inspiring. In only his 13th collegiate game (and 5th with meaningful minutes), he played like an old pro. Far from the most athletically gifted athlete on the floor, his in-game awareness and smarts were on full display. His help D in particular were impressive, as well as positioning for rebounds on both ends. Hammond was our energizer bunny. His weak side gambling on D bore fruit as did his toughness. But the shot of the game was the wing 3 by Amari in the 3rd extra period. No hesitation, no doubt, just a confident stroke. (Even if we were all thinking NOOOOOOOO!!!!) With a short bench, kudos to the coaches and the players for playing hard the entire time without getting into foul trouble at any point. Hoo tears are still the best tears!!!!
