Man. What on earth.
I came into this thinking I just wanted one non Portland W out of this. Instead we got both Villanova and North Carolina with a shot to win the whole damn thing on Sunday. There were multiple times it felt like they gave us the dagger in both games and we just fought back and found a way to win anyhow.
It feels so very nice to watch a basketball team who never gives up and just fights the entire way through. We'll hit lapses here and there, but then we just keep pounding. Nova and UNC had better talent than we did for sure, but we outplayed them and out coached them. Insane.
Lots of stuff to clean up still but most of it is fixable or comes with experience. I don't know what happens the rest of the season but I do know we'll fight hard.
Also, if this wasn't a good enough feeling, our 2 biggest weaknesses right now are ball handling and shooting. Both issues have guys coming in to help that next season and we haven't landed one single transfer yet either. It feels good to be a Clone.
