Jay Wrights' mastery of the time out situation is largely responsible for that win. He exhibited great patience by holding back his TOs for the last minute. It saved the day for 'Nova after they botched that first press offense where they turned it over on the home run pass and then fouled at freaking halfcourt when they were up 2. It's not often that a coach plays that much of a role in determining an outcome of a game, but Coach Wright did that game. And against a great coach in his own right in Jamie Dixon, too!
But oh my freaking goodness were those teams entertaining to watch. They compete like mofos and spread the hell out of the court and just go to the glass like crazy guys. Watching Raptors basketball most of the year, I had forgotten how hard the game could be played and what you can do to a defense when the ball gets swung early and often.
Didn't get to watch all of the game since I've working on the proposal for my masters thesis lately and neither got time nor energy to stay up late watching games, but been watching those two teams and big east basketball throughout the winter and it's been far better than watching Raptors ball for sure.
Seriously...does anybody watch the Raptors anymore?
