Key Stat

Assists! 15 (with 1:30 left and the game locked up)
Ball movement, discipline... great to see.

GREAT WIN! I was hoping for Sweet 16, Elite 8 is way more than I expected.

Such a crucial number for us. A/TO ratio has been poor this year. It is THE stat. 5 TO's

And one of them was Snider's only turnover with about :50 left and the game in hand. I think he was wanting Trez to put a little icing on the cake with a lob to the rim, I firmly believe Q knew the game was in hand. Kid played one helluva game.

The way they closed out the game was a bit troublesome to me. Rozier attacking the basket and getting slammed into the basket support for instance. No need for that at that time. We had a 3 possession lead and there was less than 2 minutes (maybe less than that) and he got hurt on that play.

Apparently he didn't get seriously injured which is great news, but he's going to be sore and he will feel it tomorrow. Hopefully it doesn't hamper his ability to play up to his potential. Without Rozier playing up to his potential, this team has no chance of advancing to the final four.

assists need the player to finish .. that has been the issue this year. When we do have the play set up, a good pass, then a clunker.

Having that many assists means we hit some shots .. that is a very good trend to have.

In the presser. the players spoke about keeping up the 'O' pressure to close out the game strong and not allow the Wolfpack any chance of a last minute comeback like they did to beat LSU......etc

Injuries like that happen in the game of BB and can come at any time......something that is part of the game....Rozier will be fine and learn from this also.....

CC the players were just doing what CRP instructed at the end of the game....your beef would be with him......but I was a little surprised by that aggressiveness and happy with the outcome it produced. Different strokes for different folks.
