I didn't set my DVR, but watched a bit of the game. When I was watching for about 5 minutes, three things stood out:
1. They led, lost the lead, and came back to take the lead. Not a win, but that shows mental toughness they have lacked for years.
2. Okpala and Davis finally played up to their billing as they looked the part of guys who belonged playing at an elite level athletically
3. Sharma's defense at the rim
I saw the last shot of regulation and was like "oh please make this miss, the Pac-12 DESPERATELY needs this win!" I knew they are toast in OT, but the difference between how they played UNC and Kansas was like two different teams played. That's probably a good sign.
