Wasn't that nice?
Got lucky enough to get some tickets for the game last night, and it was great to see the team step up and get a win against a quality opponent.
Everyone stepped up, and really, the only player who you could say had an off night was Hawes, but he still found a way to contribute by putting the game on ice with 5 minutes left.
Special props to Artem Wallace, who made a much larger impact than his stats show. When Brockman got into foul trouble, Wallace came in and made a solid impact on the game, getting a steal, drawing a charge, and pulling down a couple tough rebounds in traffic. Even though he shot 5-10 from the line, many of those points were at a time when our offense was stagnant and needed a lift - I think he made 4 of 6 late in the game after having gone 1-4 in the first half.
Over the course of the game we saw every player step up and make plays. Dentmon on fire early, Appleby and Brockman late in the first half, Nelson Oliver and Wallace making a difference when they stepped on the court. This was a team victory and showed what everyone thought this team could be.
Is this team talented enough to win the Pac 10 tournament? I think so. But the real question is, can they do it on the road in LA? They'd have to play offense like they did tonight to have a chance.
