My thoughts:
1) great win! Smith is very important to our team and to gut this one out after coming out flat was HUGE. We avoid a home loss on our resume. We hold serve. Survive and advance.
2) Kadary isn’t quite in shape but man he dug deep in this one. Incredible performance. He got back doored on the first play of the second half and I thought it was a sign we were about to get beat. But nope. He flipped the script by hitting some timely shots and getting some important steals and a nice block as well. His drive and dish game was humming along tonight.
3) i think it is time to take the training wheels off of Prey. He is talented, can hang in defensively against multiple positions, and fights hard for rebounds. That matches the identity of this team.
4) I thought Cooley was dreadful tonight. Curtis Williams Jr killed us in the first half and as Georgetown was mid meltdown he did nothing to get him involved. He kept trying the same things over and over. Weird, useless timeouts too.
