I'll keep it short and sweet.....we pulled it out, thanks to the play of "suddenly emerging" Eric Boateng and clutch stroke of Ty Abbott. The game was way too close for comfort, especially in the first half when Oregon St. could not miss behind the arc.....always happens, the worst team on Senior Night pulls the scare of the season or upset. I hate to say this, but in hindsight I like the minutes that Boateng, McMillan and Shipp received, especially Boateng and McMillan. They needed to prove they could be dependable and they showed it....What's up with Glasser tonight? Just sloppy...and just to add one comment that I have been weighing on all season: If Pendergraph doesn't pull it together mentally, there is no hope for this team. Come tourney time, Harden and Co. can only do so much. Pendergraph has to lead and be on the floor come crunch time. that technical was sloppy. As much as I would like to believe, we are not the UNLV or Mighigan of old, we need our experienced players on the floor.
P.S. Nice comment made after tonights game on Fox about the mismatch we would create for teams who have never seen our zone D...I agree, it is the only thing we can count on come tourney-wise, given the youth of our team.
