- 27-1, 14-1 in the conference. That’s the best total record and tied for the best conference record by any Big East team in history at this point in the season.
- It was uncomfortably close but we are getting everybody’s A-game and that was not the Rutgers team that had lost 6 of 7. It was the Rutgers team that had beaten Florida, crushed Pitt and beaten Notre Dame. And it was the Rak.
- And it was another game we would have lost in another season. I had the feeling that Herve Lamizana was warming up in the tunnel down the stretch. But he stayed there.
- We closed the game on a 10-2 run in the last 3:08 after closing out Louisville with a 6-0 finish in the last 3:38.
- “And if you can keep you head about you are losing theirs” CJ. Fair scored 14 points and pulled down 6 rebounds in the first half when everyone else was playing poorly. He was 6 for 8 from the field and 8 for 8 from the foul line, (his teammates were 13 for 23).
- Scoop Jardine came off an 0 for 8 performance vs. Louisville to score 17 points including a huge, gutsy three from NBA range that basically clinched it. He also added 7 assists and 3 steals.
- Kris Joseph quietly scored 14, including a couple of big threes and added 5 rebounds.
- Fab Melo was terrible in the first half but came back strong in the second half with 8 points, 5 rebounds and a block. He had a block and three big rebounds in the final 1:12 to help us nail it shut.
- Hopefully we’ve broken out of our shooting slump with a modest 5 for 12 from three and 38 points outside of the paint vs. 14 against Louisville.
27-1 and 12 to be done….. Impossible is nothing!!!!
LET’S GO ORANGE!!!
