Quadir checked into the game right before the 17-0 run started. SU trailed 23-16 when Quadir subbed in for Taylor at the 3 (the 5 guys on the floor were Sy, Joe, Quadir, Maliq and Jesse), and we immediately gave up a fast-break dunk against the press to fall behind by 9 points, at which point our run began. That fast-break dunk also prompted JB to insert Hima for Jesse, but that substitution didn’t happen until the next whistle (a goaltending call on a Symir layup to begin the run), so Hima entered the game with SU trailing 25-18.

Then we got a Girard steal and coast-to-coast layup, followed by back-to-back Girard 3s to give us our first lead of the game at 26-25. Next, we got a Joe iso/backdown/turnaround J to push the lead to 28-25 (a personal 10-0 run for Joe!).

Maliq kept the run going by dunking an offensive rebound after a missed Quadir layup, and the final basket of the run was a beautiful sequence: a Maliq steal, which led to a Quadir drive-and-kick to Joe for a 3-pt FG to complete the 17-0 run.

So Quadir, Sy, Maliq and Joe were on the floor for the entirety of the 17-0 run, and Hima was on the floor for 15 of those points. That lineup deserves a ton of credit for changing the game and putting us in a position to win.
