Could I be seeing a team rising from the ashes?!?

What we are seeing is our most skilled players - RJ, Drake, Ian starting to gel. RJ woke up and played his kind of ball and I believe his playing point more gets him in the groove. Ian and Drake are doing what talented rookies do, they are getting acclimated to the step up in college BB and are moving past the big eyed era. Also I will give Washington some credit for putting forth some effort on defense. Home cooking went a long way last night. Last point - we have played many of the best teams in the country away from CH while breaking in our new horses. It is going to be interesting to see how this works out.

Agree on all points. We still have the PittdookPitt 3 game stretch, but other than that, we’ve been through the most difficult part of our season. If we play like we did last night, we should be fine in the ACC. Perhaps going 15-5, 14-6 at worst. And with a lotta luck, 16-4.

That said, it was just one game, at home. If we play like we did at Louisville… all bets are off on the ACC reg. Season.

Pittsburgh looked bad against dook. I don't know if dooks defense is that good, but Pitts offense looked stagnant and one deminisional.

But we can worry about that when we get there, let's take care of business this weekend.

He looked a bit unsteady. Hope it wasn’t a concussion or broken nose…….as Bonner or Wes Durham said…..it was just two heads coming together because RJ reached in…..had NOTHING to do with Cross’s head ACCELERATING into RJ’s face.

I don't know how the refs couldn't see he was using his head to try to get RJ out of the way. And their big goon had the hard foul on Ian, too.
 
Best collective game from the 4 and 5 spot all season. Whole team set the defensive tone early

Drake played like he took offense by how wide open Notre Dame was leaving him on Saturday

Nice to see RJ finally get going after another slow start. Missed Ian a few times in transition

Yeah, we got 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 blocks from Washington, Lubin, and Withers collectively. If we can reliably get about 20/10/2 from them collectively each game, that would be great.
