I really hope we all took a lot of time to reflect and appreciate this team as the season was happening. This was truly one of the most dominant teams I’ve ever seen play. 37-3 and NCAA champions. This is NOT normal.
Tristen Newton. The cool and calming presence. 20 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds
Cam Spencer. He WANTED this. 8 rebounds, most in the game except for Edey.
Steph Castle. 90 foot defense all night. No fear from the freshman. 15 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists
Alex Karaban. Shot wasn’t falling so he crashed the boards for 3 offensive rebounds and played great defense all night.
Donovan Clingan. Matched up against the 2 time NPOY and made him WORK. I’ve never seen Edey that tired. He got his, but DC made him work for it, which opened up the game for us.
Hassan Diarra. 13 minutes but scored 9 points and had the same, lockdown defense as Castle.
Samson Johnson. Fouled out but didn’t back down. It takes guts to rise up for a dunk knowing Zach Edey is near by, and he had 2 electric ones.
Dan Hurley. There were 16 coaches in the history of the game with multiple titles. Now there’s 17. Dan Hurley has tied guys like Bill Self, Rick Pitino, Jay Wright, and Billy Donovan. Legendary company for a legendary coach.
Lets. Go. Huskies.
