75-71

I think 75-71 will be this year's pivot point. The point at which UD's players knew we have the confidence, talent, coaching, and swagger to belong on the court in late March. It's our IPFW moment where we know there's no quit in us.

At 75-71, with the game just about to completely fall apart, SS drives past his man and hits Cooke in the corner. He makes it, we're every bit in this game with a 1 point barn-burner. He misses, this one is likely over with only 2:00 on the clock and Iowa can't miss a shot.

He made it.

Great call. Huge play, huge shot. Very, very cool to see Cooke had the stones to drain it. We were taking on water, and that shot put the game back in reach. One thing I liked about it was that it was just the right basketball play. Scoochie drives, the help comes, he kicks it to the open shooter in the corner. It's well-designed offense, but it's just a basic play - not a forced three as we didn't "need" a three with that much time left. It was just the right play, and Cooke nailed the shot.

Before the shot, my friend sitting next to me at HP Field House says we are going to win. Gotta hand it to Nostradamus

Two points.

1) In the Archie era, how many times have the Flyers been losing in the 2-3 minutes and won the game. His teams seem to have composure and they finish very strong.

2) In my life, I have seen this scenario so many times. A team gets down and then mounts a furious comeback. They take the lead, but there a time left on the clock 2-4 minutes and they are spent, tired and in some ways mentally exhausted. They can't finish the game and the momentum shifts back. Iowa did that to some degree. UD also woke up and responded.

Good finish.
