Deivons best game as a Johnny. Love that Zuby got the shot at the end.

Biggest Q. Why the hell didnt pitino get the ball over half court and draw up a play with 10 seconds left? Team had no idea what to run.

Either way, a win is a win, and this PC team is a team that a tournament contender has to beat. Finally we get a bounce our way.

If he calls a timeout, we might not get that rebound advantage we end up getting with zuby on a guard down low

Trail by 13 at the half, miss 15 free throws, do not shoot 3's particularly well, other team plays out of their mind in the 1st half, give up a late 3 to tie.

But still win on the road in a very difficult environment.

Rick Pitino. The Godfather....

 

[Jack Williams]

That was excruciating….. 42% from the line?????????? Peculiar substitutions? Say what you want but PC is mediocre at best and without their best player????

Either this team is just not that good or Pitino was severely outcoached. PC made one lay up after another.

Lighten the hell up

 

[tnice]

I'm not even happy, I'm just f***ing exhausted LOL

in the first half yes, second half no.

 

[RedStormNC]

He hasn’t made one all night. He has become a one dimensional scorer which he wasn’t last year.

Hasn't had any dimensions recently

How in gods name can anyone be angry? We won the game despite shooting terribly!! That’s what great teams do.

Lets blow the doors out on Delaware (such a stupid trap game scheduled…), and get our second away win on NYE

 

[Knight]

We were outrebounded 43-39

 

[Redenbacher]

As I predicted, never in doubt

 

[mattc]

We never ever ever win this game. Take the W and move on.

[stjohnnie75]

Scott’s defense in the second half changed the game.

 

[RedStormNC]

Oddly, I'm not worried.

I think we'll run them hard and have strong 2nd half

I'm usually more a pessimist.

Can't believe I thought this and we won..

 

[Demo]

Left 15 points on the line!

Is there a more likable guy in the recent history of our program than Zuby Ejiofor?! The guy misses clinching free throws vs Baylor, cries in agony, and comes back the next night with our fan base behind him and every game since has been an absolute beast, just willing the team, indisputable leader! Then makes a game winning buzzer beater in our first conference road game?! Are you F’ing kidding me?! ZUBY!

 

[Amaseinyourface]

We were outrebounded 43-39

But we took 21 more shots. We killed them on the offensive boards. 18 to 7

He’s climbing the ladder of all time fav Johnnies for me personally. Couldn’t agree more

So happy for him to get a signature moment tonight

Zuby played 34 minutes w only two fouls. He really has improved on many levels, but avoiding fouls is one facet of his game that goes unnoticed. We obviously need him on floor and he has done incredibly well on that.

Smith played 33 efficient and smart minutes

 

[MJDinkins]

I’ll take the win. But the game raises more concerns than settles anything. Warning
Signs abound. Gotta learn to play 2 halves.

It was on the road in conference play, so I won't beat up the team too much. My main issue are missed freebies and Luis mimicking his play from last season. Many of his shots were grossly forced.

Thankfully, we got outta there with a win. If we made eight more freebies then we win comfortably. I'll take the win and worry about the free throws at another time.

Go Johnnies!
