The 4th Quarter of yesterday's game was played with great intensity. From the comments made by Thomas it seemed like it was 110 degrees in that bandbox of a gym. Our kids (at the urging of Wojo who was totally hoarse by game's end) reached down very deep and simply insisted on winning.
Sure they're getting to see the Italian cultural treasures. But make no mistake. This is a working trip. And our Warriors seem intent on rebuilding a winning culture beginning immediately. Looking forward to Saturday's game and the two beyond that. Then looking forward to Madness, Belmont and Bucky. Losing last year sucked. I'm done with that crap. I sense they are too.
Right after Thomas mentioned Wojo telling the team that it was "winning time" was when I remember Duane really stepping up and taking control of the game with a steal (steals?) and three pointers to put Marquette ahead for good.
Was very impressed by the 4th quarter performance, especially since they landed 27 hours prior and we're likely dealing with jetlag/adjusting to new time zone.

A season of "The Golden Bear is soaring through the Roman Air!!" is just what the doctor ordered.
