John Madden once said, "The champion is the champion until he's no longer the champion, and that's what makes him the champion". Man, did that apply to yesterday. Want our title? You had better rip it out of our hands. Also Mike Tyson: "Everybody has a plan until you get punched in the face!" 1 Quote

Illini Zip Posted March 16 Report Posted March 16 (edited) I want to personally thank Nate for not trying a tomahawk dunk at the end of the game. I love the tomahawk, but the decel, euro-step worked just fine. Wise decision. Edited March 17 by Illini Zip Quote

MDZip Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 (edited) After rewatching the final, I know you can say this about a lot of players who play well, But the Zips do not win that game without Amani Lyles. He was so clutch in so many ways, he must have been watching Enrique because 14 rebounds in 26 minutes is dog work. Six of them were offensive rebounds, which is the same number as the rest of the team had and only one less than Miami had. Plus obviously his clutch rebound at the end with that fantastic outlet pass. But he was also the guy boxing out Miami when Nate Johnson made his game tying shot near the end. Just an amazing game for him for somebody you just never thought was going to be that kind of a contributor last year. The Cavs had the Block, the 3 and the D, the Zips had the D, the Outlet and the Euro. 😊 Edited March 18 by MDZip 5 Quote
