Great to see the team play motivated. They play like that the rest of the way they’ll cut some nets down.
1. Initially I thought Johni was playing soft, but I think he was overthinking the game on offense. It seemed like he felt he had to shoot over Kalkbrenner rather than go up strong with it. He’s at his best when he gets to the rim. Gave good effort getting rebounds and defending Kalkbrenner.
2. Dylan with an absolute defensive masterclass. His contests on Kalkbrenner were incredible and he did not foul on defense. His 2 fouls were an illegal screen (partly Pettiford’s fault for going to fast) and an over the back on a rebound. Him and Chaney combined for 3 fouls in 46 minutes. Dylan also made some key plays on offense in the first half that kept Creighton from building momentum.
3. Guard play wins in March. We get play like that from our guards and no one will beat this team. Tahaad is showing why he’s a 5 star. A few more games like that and he won’t be here next year (a trade off I’m willing to make). CBM getting to the rim like that opens up so much. Even with Kelly only scoring 5 points he is a threat to go nuclear at any point. He will show up in Atlanta. Denver locked Ashworth up in the second half and put the nail in the coffin there at the end.
This team seems to be finding their swagger again. Perfect timing too. Playing in Atlanta will be huge.
TL/DR: We going to the ‘ship
PS: Yes I took my Xanax before the game.
