Andre Dawkins: “People ask me if I can still shoot, and I ask them if they can still breathe. That’s kind of the same thing.”

How did K know to call those two plays for Thornton at the end of the game? Wow!!

We can get into most of the details later, but I have two prevailing thoughts:
Epic Tyler Thornton is epic.
Epic Mason making his free throws especially at the end is also epic.
March Madness in November, damn I'm outa gas!
TYLER THORNTON!!
More tomorrow.. too tired to type!
GO DUKE!!!!!

Mason was an absolute monster tonight. He grew up tonight and demanded the ball and played outstanding defense tonight. Thornton some big shots and great defense. We are getting better.

What a fantastic, tough win for our guys. Great to see Ryan Kelly get some individual recognition. 7 wins in 12 days. I may have to really look a little harder into getting tickets for OSU on Tuesday. Go Devils!!! Thanks for another great tournament victory.
Mason you are the man!
Our House!
Maui wowie! What a great game! Tyler to the rescue!
Maui=Cameron West
TT with the big shots late.
Ryan Kelly with another great game.
MASON PLUMLEE!!!!
rebounds, blocks, creating shots for himself and his teammates, and making free throws!!
Hey Wheat, was that the kind of performance you were looking for? Can you come and call for our bigs to do more before every game?
I love it for Tyler. He gets overlooked, I think. I know he doesn't shoot a lot but he actually seems to be a pretty good shooter - especially at clutch times. Really great game for us to win tonight against a really good Kansas team. Austin ended up with 10 but took a lot of shots to get there. I thought we were a little slow and tired (or something) in the first half and KU certainly didn't quit. Make no mistake, we had to EARN this Championship!
I fear that the possible walk by Curry right before TT's miracle three will be replayed to death on ESPN. Whatever, we won - deal with it!
Anyone else already seeing Kansas in our bracket come March?
Mason - GREAT GAME
Ryan Kelly - amazing
Huge shots by Dawkins and Tyler...Tyler.
Wow
All I can say is WOW! TT's first 3 was pulled with confidence and it looked good leaving his hand the 2nd 3 was a desperation shot but boy did he stick it. He seems to end up with the ball with the shot clock runing out at least 2 or 3 times a game. I may be exaggerating a little but it seems like when the shot clock hits 3 TT has the ball in his hands.
Ryan and Mason, im very impressed with them.
Great game and its only November. I love watching this team play!
Wow. That was stressful. And fun. Thank you Tyler Thornton for finding a way to throw it in the ocean at the end!
The good:
- One championship complete!
- Mason Plumlee. He played so hard. The offense seems to run much better when he's in there. On defense he really made Robinson work, and won the battle in the second half. And he hit free throws!
- Thornton's 3s and disruptive defense.
- Second half defense. We contested much better in the second half and forced a LOT of turnovers.
- Thomas Robinson. That dude is good.
The not-so-good:
- Dribble penetration allowed in the first half.
- Not really interested in discussing anything else on the heels of a championship!
Great win. Gutty effort. Very happy for the team!
2% of K's wins have come in the state of Hawaii. We're 18-0, including a Rainbow Classic from many moons ago.
