also, it's pretty great to think about how many meaningful minutes our freshman are contributing to this team

This is my fav part.  Even Nigel played pretty well last night considering his recent PT.

Seeing Will play like he played last night makes it kind of infuriating to think what he could have done with his career if he wasn't so afraid to shoot for most of it. So don't do that.

Spradling played the best game I think I've ever seen from him

Will has been pretty great the last four games.  This is what he could have been the last three years if he would have shot the ball instead of penetrating only to immediately retreat or if he would have pulled the trigger from three rather than hesitating and passing away unless wide open.  He has grown much needed offensive courage the last few games.

I take back the mean things I said about Will.  They were true, but I still take them back.  I did want the ball in his hands going down the stretch.

I'm impressed with how efficient he's become on 2s, just as much as him making 3s.

Don't do that.  For all you know you contributed to him pulling his big boy pants on.

Loved That One Dude's zeal at the end of the game and OT, but he really needed to pull those back and get the ball to Foster or Sprads and try to run more clock.

Still tho    :ksu:

The block was rough ridin' amazing.  Nails.  I feel like anyone on this team can make a play.  I can't remember us ever being this athletic as a team.

In my opinion, the best play that Will made the entire night was when he zoomed out of the air and just ripped the ball from baby Embiid when it looked like he would have an easy dunk.

EDIT - Mods, please move this post to the "It's Time" thread.  TIA

It was really something.  Feel great for Spradling.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

This is the first thread I've looked at, but if it hasn't been mentioned elsewhere sys owes DJamer a huge apology, and he better mean it.

it's nice that he had a good game at an opportune time.

felt the same way.  he was almost as skilled as a freshman as he is now.  he should have had a lot more games like this.

He just played one of the best games of his career.  He should just do that every time.

SF99, you don't see a difference in how he played?  Not talking production, but assertiveness with shots and drives?  If not, you should take some time to reflect and rewatch some games(roughly 3.5 seasons worth).

I don't want Will to look to drive and score ever.  If it's there then take it.  If not, back it out and run the offense.  He played great last night, I loved what he did.  I don't think you can ever count on him to score in the lane consistently.  I just want him to take open shots and hit them.  I think he has taken a lot of open shots in his career, the difference last night was he made them.  I feel like his D has been pretty underrated and steady for the last 2 years.  He has played great help side D and fairly decent on the ball for 2 years now.
