a.j., greatest individual performance by a griz player since eric hays almost brought down john wooden and ucla in the ncaa tournament in 1975. the great ones always perform best on the biggest stage, and a.j. proved his greatness tonight. with him on our side, and two agile seven footers around the basket, we're gonna be a dangerous first-round game for any team that tangles with us, no matter their seed.
but let's not forget will, again making his second key play down the stretch on successive nights--the first offensive, tonight defensive. let's also not overlook the hole we dug ourselves after he went out early in the first half with two fouls. this team simply is not the same team without him, and had we lost, i think tinks could have been faulted for not bringing him back even with two fouls when the game was seemingly getting out of hand. offensively he penetrates and dishes; defensively, he's just a nightmare for the opposition, and we're a different team with him in there.
a.j. gets the glory, and deservedly so. but let's not forget--where there's a will, there's always a way.
