In response to Old Bear
It was a fantastic night all around. First ever Brown team to hit 20 wins, which fans have been pining for. Something about 20 wins feels like a real milestone.
And our first postseason win ever. Another milestone.
They won on the basis of incredible three-point shooting - both volume (35) and makes (15). Strategy was to play a smaller lineup and work the ball on the perimeter and inside-out for threes. That worked. Has a Brown team made 15 threes before? Probably. But not often.
And they did it without three main players - Anderson sat (don’t know why). To have that performance being so short-handed was magnificent.
And what a performance by the senior Okolie, who gets better and better. To step up and make big shot after big shot, and to defend UAB’s stellar little guard Bryant, was as good of a total performance as we had this season. Howard was really big, Hunsaker and Sullivan played effectively, and after Obi, game ball goes to Choh who almost had the triple double and finished with 8 assists. Big assist game for Brown who finished with 18 - which has got to be a season-high.
Great night for Brown basketball. On to somewhere in California.
