Although Aaron Brooks scored 31 points to lead us past the Cougs 77-74, Maarty was the key to the win, hitting 2 clutch free throws with no time left on the clock in regulation to send the game to OT. He was 0-7 from the field when he stepped up to the line, but he knocked them both down. He hit one 3 in OT to finish the night with 5 points, but who cares 'cause he had arguably the two most important points of the game. Way to go Maarty. The Ducks are now 19-2 headed into February with UCLA at UCLA up next. Hopefully we can run the table and head to the tourney, but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

An amazing barnburner of a game. The Cougar comeback at the end was chilling. GO DUCKS!!

All is well, but mostly because the Ducks pulled it out tonight. Otherwise, it'd be a pretty crappy night. My mood lives and dies with the Ducks this season.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. Thursday night was not fun, but it emphasizes how crucial Brooks is to this team, and means this year IS the year.
