We'd have some of those good plays, at least the past like five or six games, we'd have some of those good plays only for the shot to go wanting.

Right.

And so you see, oh, that was a really good play.

I think there's a couple of games ago where you and I had the same play that we didn't pick for play of the game because it resulted in a missed shot.

Like, oh, if this had gone down, it would have been it would that would have been it.

So this time around, we had a lot of those kind of hockey plays where one guy does the hustle, one guy grabs a loose ball, flicks it to another guy who passes it to the guy who makes the shot.

So I really liked the ball movement in the second half that led to a lot of our good plays.

And I just think as the game went along, despite the fact that Pitt was still hitting a lot of shots that they normally don't,

The fact that we were hitting our outside shots and Slim kind of going on that little mini run that he had where it just felt like everything was going down for him, that really helped keep Pitt away.

And then as the game went on, we were able to pull away from the Panthers.

And I think the other thing about Slim in this game is you saw a little bit more of the showtime come out of him.

And I think it was deliberate in the sense that he knew that he had been... We've talked about the fact that he hadn't been shooting well the past few games.

I think you mentioned after the last game that he had been shooting in the 20s from three over the last five or six games.

So he had been in a little shooting slump.

And to break out of it, he kind of used...

his show timeness to help with the momentum he'd hit a shot he'd kind of turn and jaw at somebody he he hit another shot he kind of looked at the crowd there was some guy drawing at him as he shot the shot and as the ball went in you could see him turn to that guy and kind of say something to him like hey it's gonna be a long night if you're if this is going down in the second half of course we're in we're shooting on the end by the duke bench and there's a couple times where you're

he paused to look at the bench to kind of hype them up, right?

Like he said some stuff to our bench, like, hey, we're back, baby.

Like, let's go.

There was one, I think it was the final three that he hit.
