Good stuff. Rewatching it right now.

That D.. that picked up the call as they crossed over half-court reminded me of Rutgers facing that famous UNLV D out in Vegas. Just smothering. How much easier will Wake Forest's offensive game seem to them whoever they play next?

Great stuff from Big Cliff.. if you watch Cliff's feet.. he has really begun to use them properly on D. Keeping them under his center and moving them quickly with keeping a good base and retaining balance and ability go either way. Just excellent footwork. I stated some things I'd like to see from Cliff after the SHU game.. he met every "ask".. even a sky-hook of sorts.. but especially not burying himself under the basket. He ended up there a few times, due to rebounding fouls by the opponent.. but not by choice like he seems to have done previously. Just outstanding progress.

Really.. the whole team's show of athleticism was awe-inspiring. Really speaks to all the off-season work they must have done.
