A Purim miracle. The world turned upside down.

Nice! Looks like Okolie got Desmond's shots, and made the most of them - 7 for 14 3PG

Choh came pretty close to a triple double.

vs UAB - What a win!!! 03-20-19 11:27 PM - Post#282292

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.
LET'S go BRU-no (duh. nuh. nuh-nuh-nuh) |

A great, short handed win indeed! Anderson sat due to injury but should be available for the next game. Okolie appeared to be cramping up at the end, following a good offensive performance.

Okolie did suffer cramping at the end, making the win even more challenging. Anderson suffered a minor back injury in practice on Tuesday and is day to day. Next game will be in Los Angeles against Loyola Marymount.

Nice win. The cross-country flight won't be fun, but good luck.
