I'm not going to say it was a good game by any stretch, first half was abysmal and unfortunately this isn't the first time HU has started a game that way - that will certainly need to be corrected if they want to win this whole thing
But I do also need to give credit where it's due - I believe this is e first game this yr where they've played so poorly, been down by so much late in the 2nd, and turned it around to comeback and win - in 3 of the 4 losses they were not able to overcome the poor play and complete the comeback, so that is one of the biggest positives from this W
Another was the return of Rokus - def some cobwebs in the O, but the dude pulled down 10 boards - see only upside from here on...
And I like and agree that the strategy for offsetting bad 3 shooting should be driving and getting fouled - most of this group can shoot well enough from FT that it can help them claw back and/or win
And this is where it counts, so good job to the team for showing resolve, guts, no quit, and the will to win - that will be a requirement IMO to get to the dance
In the future however, I'd like to request that Green and the team don't put themselves in that position very often
Roll Pride!
