We were 45% from three in the first half.

My biggest good is everything that happened in that first half of basketball.

At that point, they were going to do.

Let's get a little more good stuff.

I thought Dame Sarr had a great first half.

When Dame hits threes, we're kind of a nightmare for teams.

He had eight points in the first half, two of three on his threes.

And Dame played really strong D on the UConn perimeter players.

He was mostly matched up either on Braylon Mullins or Silas Damari.

And both those guys...

struggled massively when he was covering them.

I thought he was, you know, he showed the kind of defense that he just shut the water off on both of those guys.

And then the other guy I want to talk about, you know, in terms of not just the first half, but the whole game was Nick Hemenia.

who had a couple really, really strong stretches.

He showed – Nick really showed he's going to be super impactful next year, next season.

He's going to – I guarantee he's going to work on some things in the offseason, and he's going to have to take on a little bit larger role, and he's going to – I think he's going to do outstanding at it.

Nick had seven points in this game, kept on making heady plays.

He plays super, super smart, and I thought it was very telling –

John Shire had Jimenez in the game a lot.

When the game got tight down the stretch, Nick was in that game a ton.
