Jay King

And obviously the pull up is a big part of his game.

He can hit that at a high rate, although he's been missing it far more often recently than he did at the start of the season.

But it's the physicality.

It's the force.

It's the ability to get to his spots.

And then I thought tonight he was just patient.

And, you know, he and Tatum combined for 15 assists between them.

And the amount of attention that they draw, the...

the pressure they put on defenses to guard them.

And then you've got to deal with Peyton Pritchard and Derek White.

And now Baylor Shireman has emerged as a capable and reliable shooter.

And then you've got Shireman, Hugo Gonzalez, Garza, Kata all crashing the glass.

And you've got to worry about Kata on the roll.

So I think this is a far more complete team than I thought it would be at the beginning of the season, a far deeper team than I thought.

And Jalen has been...

you know, the leading scorer throughout all that.

And I do think just the way he approached this season from a mentality standpoint, just set the tone and his competitiveness and Joe Masula's competitiveness and some of the other guys, like they just weren't going to let this team fail in the way a lot of people expected.

Yeah, I think one thing is Tatum.

How does he continue to look like?

That's as big as any of these things.
