Okorie also had 9 assists, to go along with 12/20 shooting (3/5 from 3) and 9/11 free throws including the daggers when UNC was fouling with under 20 seconds (also, Benny Gealer with 2 to seal the deal). As a team, we had 20 assists versus 8 turnovers. Going 16/28 (57%) from 3 was the difference as field goals were even and UNC had 9 more free throw attempts (5 more makes). Immense game by Jeremy Dent-Smith (6/7 from 3, 20 points) and Agarwal (20 points, 6 rebounds).
I was happy that we kept it competitive until the end and didn’t let UNC get away even when they had hot starts to each half. So, to pull it off in the last couple minutes. Key sequence: Okorie makes the second free throw with 1:47 to cut the lead to 2. UNC turnover at 1:21. Jeremy Dent-Smith with a 3 for the lead with 1 minute left and we never looked back. Agarwal gets a steal with 50 seconds to go, and scores a three with 32 seconds to go to give us a two possession lead. Then it was all about getting the inbounds and making the free throws down the stretch.
