What an unbelievable experience! and win!
Slawson - Played the game of his life. Best player on the court.
Bothwell - Played great with limited minutes due to fouls, several questionable calls. Second best player on the court by a whisker.
Foster - Played great. Hit 3 big 3 pointers in the second half and kept us in the game. I think this was a coming out party for him. Showed he's a big time player. Loved his aggressiveness on offense.
Hien - Played good. Struggled all year at the free throw line and then made the 2 biggest free throws of his life. Then there was THE STEAL OF THE CENTURY!
Pegues - He looked out of sorts, maybe struggling with an injury or illness? But the last 6 minutes he came up big. And then there was THE SHOT OF THE CENTURY!
Williams - Played well at both ends. Made some big shots.
VanderWal, Hughey, Whitt - all did what they needed to do without any major mistakes.
The Refs - Favored UVA. Every time we touched them it was a foul. When they made contact with us, sometimes it was and often times it wasn't.
The Crowd - Favored Furman. Seemed like there were more FU fans than UVA. Most everybody else was rooting for FU.
Coach R - outcoached one of the best coaches in college basketball. UVA looked like a deer in the headlights against the 1-3-1. And at the end they thought we were going to foul and we didn't...and the rest is history!
Saturday's Game - like the match-up with San Diego State. They remind me of Virginia.
By the way I picked Furman to go all the way to the Final Four and win it all on my bracket.
Ain't gonna be no rematch. Unless the Wahoos want to come to the Well next year.
