Udeh! When he stole the ball mid court and made his way to the rim, I was rolling on the floor. Awesome energy! Need that from him.
Yes! Besides watching JWs opening salvo of 3s rocket thru the basket and his overall dominance of the game, watching Udeh make a few plays, some FTs, and give some big minutes was a definite highlight for me.
When Kev goes out, we can look really short out there - getting shots blocked and passes deflected by the tall trees. It’s something that worries me a bit in the Dance (our 2 seed getting spanked by Stanford tall trees in the tourney years back still bugs me).
But with our tallest (6’ 11”) player out there I feel better against taller teams. And BS has expressed how he misses having a reliable big. I know he’s inexperienced and makes mistakes, but also some flashes of real potential. Plus there’s a joyous look he has when he does well that makes me smile. I’m hoping for some big minutes from him in the weeks to come. And come next year…
