What a night. What a win.
We could have gone in several directions with Player of the Game.
We could have gone with Brady Manek, who had 20 points (with five made 3’s!) and 11 rebounds while handling the toughest defensive assignment of the night, going head-to-head against Paolo Banchero most of the game.
We could have gone with RJ Davis, who took control of the game in the second half, knifing into the paint to either score or find players at the rim. He finished with 21 points and four assists.
We could have gone with Caleb Love, who shook off a rough first half and surged when Carolina needed a push to gain separation at “winning time.
