After watching that last play again, it was Dion's defense in particular...

...that was key. He absolutely hounded Taylor almost out to halfcourt and then contested perfectly on the shot itself. Just brilliant defense.

The more advance the better he will play; he loves the lights and attention.

I've been saying that all year...he is at his best when the lights are bright.

looked to me like the dude on the right wing was wide open.

Pretty sure that was Josh Gasser and he was wide open. 45% three point shooter on the season.

This is the third or fourth time we've been in a similar situation this season.
And the Orange Squeeze has come through each time.

Dion can play some serious defense when he gets up for it.
He made a key block when we needed a stop while Marquette was making its comeback from 23 down.

yeah, CJ cheated way up to help out on Wilson, who apparently wasn't able to spot Glasser wide open on the wing

That's the frustrating thing with Dion. He clearly has the ability to be a good defender, but he chooses not to for most of the game if it isn't jumping passing lanes.
