Stuff of legend

[tower912]

A 23-0 run to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.....with an inexperienced combination on the floor.      After spinning our wheels for 30 minutes.    Against a team that has pulled big upsets before and played 'nova just as tough.   With a different opponent at a different time of year, this would be the stuff that we tell our kids and grandkids about.    How about, just as an experiment, we focus on the positive.     That a young team grew a lot and started learning how to win.    That we got huge contributions from a freshman big man and a PG that Buzz seemed to only throw in as a last resort.    That Blue seized the role of defensive stopper and completely iced a guy who had been killing us.    That we beat a decent team with JFB and DJO playing poorly.     Or we could continue to scream at each other over minutiae.

What a concept

Well said..I was thrilled with this win..and thought it was a perfect example of our bottle being tipped over and our character revealed.  Everything was going Bucknell's way in the first 25 minutes of this game..lights out shooting.

Gardner has been amazing.  Blue has the defensive chops.  Buycks came up huge.  Crowder was a glue guy.  If somehow we can get DJO going...look out.  I cannot for the life of me figure out DJO's struggles thus far..didn't look good at MM, Exhibition Game, PVAM, or today.

Seems he may be TOO focused on trying to get to the rim..and not letting his 3 Ball fly..I'm sure he'll get it figured out..and when he does..we'll be just that much better.

Part of why he could go past guys at will last year is because people were biting so hard on his pump fake.

It was a terrific last 10 minutes of the game.  Great comeback. A lot of moxy at the end.  Let's hope we get off to better starts in the games upcoming. Bucknell is a pretty good team, but this was scarier than most thought.  Glad we got the win.
