I didn't get to watch it live because I'm on vacation, so I just finished watching it. A couple thoughts...
Africa added a player yesterday and 2 more today, from what I read. They were clearly playing better than they have the first 2 games.
UK went swimming at Drake's yesterday, were already in the championship game win or lose, and took an early 20pt lead. They could have packed it in. They didn't.
Africa had some serious momentum late in the game and kept coming. They were making shots (which is something they haven't been doing) and they clearly wanted this win badly.
With all this being said, I was very impressed with the way our guys stepped up, pushed the lead back out, and put the game away. I like the competitive drive of this group and the way they made plays with the game on the line. Africa kept coming but our guys matched their run with one of their own.
I love the play of multiple guys. Reed Sheppard is gonna be on the floor often. DJ Wagner was crucial late. Reeves kept making shots. I think Edwards is another guy who loves that moment and will do what must be done. Fun game today.
