George kind of lost his nerve there for a while with about 10 minutes to play.  We stopped moving when we slowed down.  We started playing the clock too soon.

Donnie was terrific, even if he did let a couple important rebounds get ripped out of his hands (again).
George getting fouled and making his FTs calmed him down a bit toward the end.
I thought we closed the game out well, after nail biting time.

I wasn't unhappy with JJ making a couple drives late to try to be the closer.
He got to the rim both times, missed a layup and got fouled on the other, but didn't get the call.
He tensed up on those late FTs, but overall, I thought we did reasonably well at the line.

We attacked their big men over and over, and had them all in foul trouble all game long.
We out rebounded them by 10, blocked a bunch of shots (7 officially), but I think Kyle got a couple additional tips that wound up as Ga Tech offensive rebounds.

[Edit; looked at the box score - Betsey also had a block but didn't get credit, and Will Kyle had 3 that I saw, but apparently only got credit for that one late monster block on Ndongo.  I give us 10 for the game.]

An awful lot to like about tonight.
We played the best any Red team has played for the first 30 minutes.
If we can keep that up, keep up the motion, keep up the effort - we could win the rest of January.
