I think a huge factor compared to last year was the transformation of Ochai. Watching every game we were well aware of his weaknesses compared to national broadcasters looking at a statsheet, but his three point stroke, combined with him not disappearing in huge matches was huge. Comparing his performance vs USC last year to the matchup against North Carolina is stark. In both, he was against great defenders and huge size inside, but despite him having the yips at the line against UNC, he refused to disappear as he did in the past and still tried to create his shot. Yes, it resulted in him missing a contested layup down the stretch, but it also resulted in that massive, momentum swinging and-1 that led to that 9 point, 1 minute stretch to take a 6 point lead against Carolina. Ochai's emergence ensured that we had 6 players who could put up double digits at any time. Add in the fact that we had so many players who had been with the program for multiple years, players who had a local connection (Ochai, Braun, Lightfoot and even Harris - because apparently Mizzou was too flush with point guards to recruit him, or something). It's also sweet thinking back on McCormack and Remy's redemptions, and Wilson being the unsung hero throughout the tourney. It was fitting that the comeback against UNC couldn't be attributed to one person, but a total team effort to come back at the biggest stage. This is such a great year to look back on, and it's only felt all the more special as I've had time to fully appreciate it. Last edited by Chiefspants; 04-12-2022 at 11:02 AM.. |

Saw a tweet earlier that said Braun is likely to go pro but we got 2 hours of him screaming on video

I limit mine to who I really watched. Didn't really start watching until Roy and didn't start following carefully game by game until I went there for school (96/97).
