Much credit to Delaire, who really came through as that second scorer and also had a thunderous dunk in OT on a rare fast break opportunity, and Kisunas, who stepped up to have his best game maybe ever.

I also enjoyed watching Michael O'Connell, who played far from flawless but nevertheless gets a lot of credit for not only the inbounds to da Silva on the final play but also steady ballhandling and at least a willingness to take a shot.

Really it's a team win where all contribute when it's about defense, as this game was throughout regulation. I'm back on the bandwagon in believing this team can make the NCAAs.
