However how gratifying is it for those second and third string players that make our first team better everyday in practice and prepare our top guys for games like this!
Thrilled for these kids, and what they have ahead of them. The whole gang there has really earned their way to Saturday. They control their own destiny from here, no matter who's next.
Major props to Brownell. Bigly. Last Sweet 16 was star-led in a way with Gabe DeVoe peaking. This time around it's that whole bench as you say playing winning basketball together, and that's a powerful force.
There aren't any star teams in this tournament really. No juggernauts.
What there's room for is who can win their next game. That looks like us as much as anyone.
