I think Rohde was waiving goodbye to the crowd at the end of that one, love it,

I really hope the next coach, whoever it is, can retain him. He’s turned into such a solid player, but he showed some serious dawg today

Check Acc network on YouTube on Monday at noon

was basically Bob Huggins’ Ronnie Wideman for a few years at WVU, including their 2010 final 4.
NAIA Champion At Walsh
D2 runner up at Fairmount St (to McCollum who is at Drake now) (Current Celtics head coach Joe Mazulla was an assistant to Calhoun here)
Did unprecedented things at Youngstown St (like record breaking for their program/unthinkable of for their program)
Has Utah St as the 2nd best team in Mountain West in his first year (losing Osobor to Washington but kept a few players including Martinez and Falslev)

I mean, yeah, like Rohde trying to finish with his right while dipsy-dooing with a wide-open Taine on the wing.

We know about terrible last-second plays vs. our instate rival, too.

Loved the play we ran for alley oops. Two ghost screens, one from a shooter and one from A Rob. Then the big rolls for an alley oop. They ran it once in first half and again the last offensive play of the game.

Also, iMac did indeed pat little wrestler boy’s bum. I think the point was to let him know that he was coming off a screen and distract him away from Rohde. But maybe he was just trolling.

Good thinking by Ron, but it would have been funnier if he decided to talk about non-basketball things to keep his mind off the FTs. “So I was reading Sartre last night…”

If not as eye-catching as his final dunk, Robinson’s free throws with 3:35 remaining were equally crucial. With UVA leading 64-61, Robinson had to wait out a TV timeout before heading to the line for a one-and-one in front of Tech’s student section, which was in full voice.

During that extended break, Sanchez said with a smile later, he talked to Robinson “about a lot of different things—except the free throws. What I wanted him to do was not to think about the free throws. So the entire time we talked about defensive coverage, communication, what we were going to do defensively, so that then when he stepped on the floor he would just take his dribbles and shoot.”

Give me Coach Sanchez and Coach Bennett reflecting on Sartre, Camus, et al, any day of the week.

One would think that this lob would have been no problem to defend for a guy with a 50-inch vertical (per “Gobbler Dan” Bonner)….

ARob made that play spectacular, but I think people underestimate how difficult and precise Rohde’s pass was.
