Buzzer Beater

Nice shot, Jamall.

Delk lead the comeback on the offensive end in the second half, but the senior made the big shot to finally take the lead with 3 seconds left.

This is Holy Cross we're talking about so we'll try not to get too excited. However, it's nice to see that the team never quits. Just like the Santa Clara game, just keep chipping away and be winning at the end; that's all that matters.

I was very pleased to see Delk take more shots in the second half, but (repeating a message from yesterday) Stansbury has to start getting him more involved in the offense early in the game. He reminds me of Frazier, a streaky shooter who can make two or three threes in a row if he gets in a rhythm. The only thing is, it took Frazier until his junior year to be this productive. Delk can do it now.

I like Gordon's confidence, but he needs to develop the understanding of when it's not his night and then involve his teammates more in the offense. There was a point with about 10 minutes left in the game that he was the only player on the team that had missed more than one shot and he was like 3-9. Everyone else was 2-2, 2-3, 4-4, 3-4, from the floor.

Bottom line, it's a big win, not because they beat Holy Cross, but simply because all wins this year are big.
