Tiny sample size, but I think this team has it. Liked King stepping in when Moore was getting hassled, even if he got a technical. Don't think it was a coincidence that there was something like a 30 to 3 run following that incident. Team seems very unselfish. Also, I liked that with 1:30 to go Moore sees the walk-ons going to the scorer's table and immediately fouls the guy bringing the ball up court so they could get in.

I agree about team chemistry, as demonstrated by better general ball movement. Sam came on pretty well, after exasperating me with his unnecessary offensive hesitancy. It was nice to see his defensive intensity from the start. Hopefully the light is slowly going on and he will bring that some fearless intensity to the offensive end.

The whole team seems to like one another.

Agree - I think we have a lot of upperclassman camaraderie that Ivan has really bridged and brought to the new guys, I don't see any sour apples riding the pine. But we were also up the whole game, so it is easy to not be coming down hard on each other when we were playing in steamroller mode and staying relatively frustration free.

I hope it lasts when we really hit the crucible.

Good job, Cuonzo and staff!
