Tough loss as you don't get many opportunities to get a road win of that magnitude. You have to give it up to these players and staff to come off the two losses and respond as they did tonight.
Overall just a tough and gritty effort by our guys. Solomon and McGriff fought their asses off on the inside against a much larger and more talented front court.
It was nice to see Forte give us what is expected and what is needed for us to compete in the conference.
Carroll continues to be our best or at worst second best player giving us consistent scoring and a presence on the glass from the perimeter.
Hate to say it but Evans has struggled since coming back from injury and may not be healthy. Tonight is a night we needed our star to play like it and he just flat out didn't. He is a great talent but has not shown POY play yet this year and we needed that to win tonight and didn't get anywhere near it.
I loved the fight and it was going to be a longshot but you just hate to miss an opportunity like this.
