A few takeaways:
-I miss Tyshawn, A true gutsy winner. The guy just found a way to make the right play in the big moments.
-TRob's greatest attribute as a player might be just how hard he played. So much energy.
-Connor Teahan certainly picked the right time to have the game of his life.
-Releford and EJ were tremendous role players (Selden in particular should watch tape of Releford...he has the natural talent/size/skill set to be better than him in every area, but isn't at all yet).
-Marcus Denmon is cold-blooded (I have no idea how he held his nerve and made so many big shots under that pressure in that situation...ridiculous level of respect for that guy).
-I was too hard on Kevin Young in retrospect. He'd probably be starting for us right now and be a better rebounder/defender than any big we've had all season (we were just privileged to have a run of elite bigs including Aldrich, the Morrises, TRob, Withey so it was hard for him to measure up to that standard).

That was so much fun. Tyshawn and TRob would not allow us to lose. Man, I miss those guys.
