1 FG in the first 19 minutes of the 2nd half - OMG.

Amazing coaching job by Pikiell all around and credit to these kids for executing in a major game with NCAA tournament implications on the line.

For anyone who says we don’t run an offense, this is another example of how Pikiell plays to his teams strengths.

The way this team is built (and previous teams) - our offense begins/ends with our defense!

When we make stops, get steals and boards and run… it opens everything up on offense. Yes also credit to Pikiell with sticking to the PnR (instead of hammering Cliff in the post all game) and making the lineup change to pull Paul off the ball and bring Hyatt off the bench.

Huge win. Let’s keep it going.
