Cam Healy is now Neo at the end of the first Matrix movie when he realizes he can manipulate the matrix.

We seemed to have figure out how many weapons we have and how to use them. De Sousa is so fun to watch. Guys were clearly intimidated when he was guarding them. Even when they got him into the paint they weren't willing to go up shots. He changes things.

A ton of credit to Ahmad Clark. He hasn't seemed to pout or be annoyed about going to the bench. I thought he was really good tonight. Didn't try to do too much. He and Devonte are really nice players to have coming off the bench.

Brown pushing all the right buttons right now... Clark for de Sousa move was brilliant. Both guys have found their place.

9-7. 4 seed.

IF Hartford also loses to Stony Brook. Our road game at Bing is not a lock either.

Lowell probably loses to UVM, so we're likely in the 4/5 game vs. Hartford, only question is where

WB has got them peaking just in time again

If we don't get the 4 seed, would it be better to drop to the 6 seed to possibly avoid Vermont for one more round if we are able to get the win on the road?

Doesnt matter the America east re-seeds.

 

[Dane06grad]

Answers that then. I couldn't remember if they did or not. Then we go for the highest seed possible and hope someone below us pulls an upset.

Agree. The surprising thing was that the change was made AFTER a win (at Maine.)

Just saw the presser, would like to see WB ease off on the “this group is going to the NCAA tournament at some point in their careers”, but that’s what makes Will Brown Will Brown.

Glad I was able to make it up for the game. So much fun seeing this team grow like this. Very happy for de Sousa. Love seeing him attack the basket with some confidence and poise. I kept telling my friend that he was going to throw one down. That was awesome.

My sentiments exactly

Obviously the freshman played terrifically. There's not doubting that. But the major difference was two players we have been on all year :

Campbell: 4 for 9 from the field, 5 rebounds and 13 points.

Clark: 12 points , 8 assists, and 5 steals.

Both were incredible. I have huge doubts they can both keep that up but if they do we are an extremely dangerous team .

Clark had a great great game... Listen kid catches a lot of flack for being out of control last night he was making plays I hadn't seen before. Drive and kick a bunch of times instead of some silly shot. Active hands... Really had a great game. I remember only one bad shot. 

 

Healey doesn't appear to have a great handle but he almost never turns it over... Probably a function of high iq. Clark is by far the better ball handler and yet does a lot of wild thing but not last night.

I was saying the same thing just a bit ago. Clark was doing Clark things, but kicking out for an open shot instead of a crazy forced shot. When is the last time a UA player had 8 assists? If he can play like that for the remainder of the year, this team will be very hard to beat.
