Is that you, Bill Self?

“Coach gave me a hug,” sophomore forward Flory Bidunga said with a smile, describing what his coach was like in the locker room. “I was like, ‘Is that you, Bill Self?’ You know what I’m saying? But, he was happy, for sure.”

@approxinfinity I would’ve gave him a big hug and told him in his ear. “That last 5 minutes is what you have always been capable of son, let’s see it from here on out”

Coach is hoping that win will get the team to gel.
In addition to Flory, Coach was complimentary of ElMarko and said he was the player of the game. The bench didn't generate a lot of points, but ElMarko did his part largely off the stat sheet.

ElMarko was a bulldog on defense, especially at the end of the game. Deflections, big steal, generally creating havoc. With other guys scoring like they were he put his efforts where they were most needed. I thought it was by far the best he’s looked all year.
