While obviously Whitehead won the game for SHU I think we have to take his game in perspective. He made some absolutely incredible shots...NBA level shots. Multiple step back jumpers and threes. Hard drives in the paint finishing over multiple defenders. And-1 at the end (debatable yes but finished with the contact).
Whitehead misses 1-2 of those high degree of difficulty shots and we win the game. I honestly thought our overall defense on him was superb. Reminded me a bit of Shabazz Napier when we lost to UCONN in the NCAA tourney. It was tough but it's not like we were playing lax defense. We threw the kitchen sink at him and he still delivered.
