Griz vs UNC

[UMGriz75]

I am amazed at everything it took for Gfeller's game tying 3 to even happen. Unbelievable hustle and awareness by Gregory on the 1st miss to keep it alive. That is exactly why coaches preach to never watch a play and to always know where your man is. UNC needed to keep a body on him, and they didn't.

The awareness of Breunig to not secure that ball, and quickly do an accurate tap pass to Breunig to get the shot off with so very little time is also amazing.

Finally, the awareness of Gfeller to be in position to get that shot.

That really was extraordinary, as though a practice routine, rather than something put together literally under last second pressure. Everyone knew what they needed to do and where to be.

It sure seems like a lot of posters are very critical of this team. This team has clearly overachieved the expectations placed on them thanks to Coach DeCuire and the players for buying into a new coach's philosophy. It has taken them awhile to get on the same page but they have and I am excited for them and their future. When you think about it if Gregory was shooting free throws earlier in the year and he has in the past and is currently doing we would have wins over a good Boise State team and California. Its time to offer them our congratulations rather than criticism. Regardless of how the next 5 games and the tournament turn out they were picked 7th and 8th, if I remember correctly, and they won't finish there. Kudos to them and good luck the rest of the way. Go Griz!

Good reminder, Griz1.

Moments likes this often allow a team to take their game to a new level. This could be the "We have arrived" moment for this year's GRIZ team,

TDC added, " These guys are fighting and going to war. We're in the race. We need a little support when we get home and some energy in that building."

I'm hoping for big crowds this week, especially Saturday against Weber on Senior Night.

WOW, 3rd OT!!!! Offensive rebound and kick to Gfeller to 3 to extend the game.

Who was it that kicked it out to Gfeller? Incredible play! They recognized they didn't have time to bring it down and pass it, but just tapped it out to him. One of the plays of the game.

I believe it was Breunig. Just went up caught the missed shot and threw it out in one motion. Great play!

This shows it.

Watching this doesn't get old. Breunig's athleticism, court awareness and intelligence are on full display here. So clutch.
