Roberson has been the key to the turnaround

[OrlandoCuse]

When Roberson plays up to his potential we can beat anybody. When he mentally checks out we will struggle to beat anybody. Sure, he struggle with foul trouble today, but his nonstop hustle and presence down low help us stay in the game until Mal went wild.

Hopefully he builds on this and goes into his senior year as a dominate force in college basketball.

He has been huge this tournament. That said, Cooney playing the way he should be playing and not forcing 3s has been big as well to go along with his defensive effort.

It's been a huge team effort and Roberson has been great during this run. Just amazing that this is the team that lost to Pitt a few weeks ago.

Rak was at the game. I hope he took Robey aside and told him how to spend his summer.

Roberson has been fantastic. It's fun watching him battle - even when he's not grabbing boards he's keeping so many plays alive. He's also been the only guy underneath battling three guys, and holding his own more often than not. Just amazing performances from him - his energy level has been off the charts. You gotta be happy for him after some struggles this year!

 

[Briancuse]

He's been terrific, I really think he is in for a big senior year.

 

[OrangeDW]

He's brought it all tournament long! Keep it up! Can't win without those high effort, high-energy workmanlike players!

Other players have been up and down, Roberson has been the constant in these four games.

i'm sure if you polled the coaches we've faced in the tourney they'd agree roberson is the biggest headache.

A couple of those coaches have admitted in pressers!

Don't discount Lydon. He has made a ton of great defensive plays and blocked shots. Timely offense too.

Indeed. Even when he wasn't converting his looks, still challenged shots throughout. I thought he played tough, physical, a bunch of big rebounds elevating while taking contact. Plays like he wants this stage and a born leader.

Lydon has 17 freaking blocks in the last 3 games. Those are huge #'s
Roberson has been huge as a windex specialist.

The thought of adding Chukwa and Moyer to our current frontline gives me the warm and fuzzies

He's at 4th most by a freshman in tournament history.

Roberson picked the right time to get fired up, that's for sure. Absolute game changer.

He's a sleepy kid who seems the bigger the game the bigger he plays. It's amazing!! I can't wait to see what he brings after a week of rest and Final Four game. He may shoot out of his sneakers like a rocket ship!!! The guy is a beast on the boards.

He looks like Ben Wallace
