Yes, I had predicted a seminole win in the prediction thread. In all fairness to me, this was the first Cuse win i was able to see all season long and we had looked just horrible in the losses that i had suffered through.

Great game by White  who hit clutch shots and battled on the glass. Solid double-double by Tyler (Lydon type) and a great effort game by Tyler (Roberson type) who showed energy and effort when he wasn't shooting FTs.

But, all that not withstanding, [B][I]John Gillon[/I][/B] was the man and the hero of the moment. He totally took over at crunch time after doing an admirable job running the O all game long. His vision, passing, and ball control was present all game long - 11 assists !!! His driving crunch-time deuce took the heart out of the rallying Noles & he as cool as ice nailing his FTs to salt it away.

The team had a just awesome first half, and rose to the occasion when it mattered in the 2nd half. The Zone D was active and pretty effective all game long. Our guys worked hard off the glass & we actually out rebounded and out blocked a much bigger team. The Tylers combined for 8 blocks (6 of them by Lydon) & strangely enough Gillon even got in on the swat party.

All in all, I finally got to witness this team's potential. There is no question that Gillon is the key to the engine, if he can play half as well the rest of the way as he did today we will be able to compete with anybody.
