Team Win

[Pago Warrior]

First time, long time...

Besides DJ finding his shot in that 3-5 span during the 2nd half, there were many other things that contributed to this win:
* Ooze was established down low early causing the cardinals to pay attention to the paint (even altered their defense a bit)
* Fitz was aggressively looking for his shots and Matthews with his outside shooting early created the necessary spacing
* All the guards found their way into the paint
* The few reserves in this game contributed very well beyond what the box scores will show.  With the exception of Burke at times, they all played well in giving energy and breathers for the starters
* Crean and co came prepared and managed the game well including his sub patterns and adjustments to the Cards changing defense

Slick has some additional insight on the game:

All in all, a very solid win particularly on the road!

Noble is afraid to post because for fear of people attacking his spelling errors.     That's what an anthropology major gets you!!
