This game really tested my flyer faithfulness but I managed to listen to the whole thing start to finish. Stayed up until 4 AM here in Berlin. People gave me some strange looks when I jumped off the couch and pumped my fist when we took the lead. Great show af toughness from this team. I compare this to the Villanova game last year were we came all the way back from being down similar margin. The difference this year is that we managed to get over the hump and pull a win from the jaws of defeat. I cannot picture us winning this game without Josh Bensons play.the same could be said about Parker, or CJ but in the first half benson single handedly kept us in the game. CW had a slow night but he did bring some energy late to help start that run. I think that dunk that brought us to within two really demoralized Ole Miss.
It's one thing to win a blowout. It's another thing to win a close game.
But the ultimate test of grit is to win a game like this and really steal a win from a good team.
