Would like to get everyone's take on this but as I think back here are mine:
1. Loss to UVA - Against a top 5 team in the country, there was a sequence where Hart and Ochefu missed back to back bunnies that would have kept us in the game. Thought we lost our confidence after that vs UVA. When we had to play Kansas, UNC in the tournament Hart and Ochefu made those shots or even when we missed them we got back and played tough in your face D.
2. Win at Seton Hall. That is the type of game we lose. Didn't shoot well, Ochefu was in foul trouble. Seton Hall makes a late run. Our D late in that game was very good, after that I thought to myself we can survive a bad shooting night in the dance.
3. Win at Butler. For me this is the moment I knew we had something special. Butler was desperate for a win. That arena was crazy. I remember sitting there watching how Arc and Ochefu led that team. I also got to see the walk through before the game and the way they execute Jay's game plan was straight on. During the walk through each player was completely focused.
4. Win at Providene without Ochefu. Gave Reynolds just the amount of confidence he needed. His teammates got him the ball in perfect position. That is the day I knew we were 8 deep and no matter what happened next guy would step up.
5. Jenkins 31 point game against DePaul.Jenkins established himself as that fire we needed. Hitting shot after shot and getting his teammates jacked up for a DePaul game in February. You need a guy like Jenkins in March to get the team all kinds of fired up.
