They turned the tide in this game.

1000 pct. Buddy kept us alive. Bench turned 19-18 to 32-18

Braswell and Edwards are great on the back line. We aren’t an 11 seed the way we are playing now.

We are a better team when 8-9 guys get solid minutes. Richmond and Edwards can both change the game. Braswell is good on the boards and D and he can drain the 3. We crushed them without much at all from QG and AG but will need them the next one.

If Griffin keeps playing like this he’s going to get passed by Woody in the rotation.

I’m only 90 percent joking

I mean the thing is... our bench guys make the pieces all fit.

Kadary helps Buddy and Joe play better and single handedly shores up the top of the zone.

Braswell elevates the wing defense and stretches the floor on the other end.

Edwards has a huge impact because he locks down the paint and that creates a virtuous cycle that improves the perimeter defense and also allows everyone else to settle in at their natural position.

Crazy stat. Edwards pitched a shutout the first 12 minutes he was in the game. SDState literally went scoreless the 12 minutes Jesse was on the court.

So you're telling me his +/- was pretty good?

Early in the year it felt like we could only be as good as Q could be. Now there's 7 guys that can carry us for a stretch.

i don’t want to hijack the mvp thread, but I can’t BELIEVE some people didnt have him in their top 3. there were certain parts of the game where he was as dominant on D and the boards as Buddy was on O
