It was a good day for Mike Boynton’s team on multiple fronts as they overcame a pesky Liberty club on an evening in which Cade struggled from the field going 2-14.
The silver lining was Avery Anderson, Issac Likekele, and MA Moncrief all stepped up and put the Cowboys in a position to close the game with Cade hitting a big three and then getting to the line as he always does at the end of close games.
From the 2:52 mark to the .55 second mark — Cade did his thing scoring nine straight points for the Cowboys at winning time in close games. On the game even despite the 2-14 from the field… Cade still finished with 15 points.
Tennessee got handled rather easily by Oregon State so the Beavers will be O State’s next opponent in the second round and I would think Mike Boynton feels good about this evn if he won’y say it publicly.
The Big 12 went a collective 4-0 on the first night of the tournament, whereas the Big Ten has so far lost Michigan State, Purdue, and Ohio State. Congrats to Oral Roberts for the upset win over Ohio State.
It was nice seeing March Madness back in place. Seeing those Rutgers kids win an NCAA game for the first time in over thirty years was a fun moment.
