Three Things

[mtmax]

1. I don't remember a better 72 hours for UA athletics-CFB playoff win, Heisman Trophy winner and basketball team beating two good teams including a top 10 road win.

2. Everyone worried about only having one PG on the roster but tonight we saw the value of having multiple players who can handle the ball without the need for a true PG.

3. This team is buying in to Oats' philosophy of defense to create offense. Best back-to-back defensive games in many years.

I was sure worried about Q not playing, but Keon Ellis let me know he had his back.

I'd like to expand upon your #1 a little and say if we beat AU Saturday, OSU Monday, and Kentucky Tuesday after tremendous wins over UT and UF and snagging a Heisman will there have ever been a better week and a half?

Ellis was incredible. Really fun to watch.

I think #3 is the key to it all. All about defense in order to produce offense and keep you in games when the shots aren't falling. Defense, but also them having bought in. Same way with the way Saban runs his program. Absolute commitment in every facet. It's what champions do and why it's so difficult to win a title. The discipline and physical taxation. I'm applauding the squad heavily tonight. But, I'll be a screaming lunatic again when Herbert misses his first layup attempt Saturday haha.

If this team continues to play with the same determination and intensity, they will defeat KY on their home court, which hasn't been done in a while.
