Providence was a game of tic for tat. We get a stop, they get a stop. We score a basket, they score a basket. It was one of those games where both teams played outstanding defense. DePaul couldn't shoot from deep, neither could Providence. So, it came down the end where Providence prevailed. You could smell the disappoint everyone had. We didn't play bad defensively. I think that was our best defensive game we played. Scoring off turnovers, containing Jayden Pierre to his worst shooting performance of the year. We have to be more physical, attack the paint, hit our shots, and we win games.
As for the shockers, the second half everyone stole the show. CJ Gunn made a clear case why he should be dancing with the stars. He collected 22 points and went 4-6 from the three point line. It was the stamp the Blue Demons needed against a great Wichita State squad. We have a tough stretch of games coming up. St. John, Northwestern, Uconn, etc. We have to establish our paint presence and stay consistent shooting. From here on out every game is going to feel like a playoff game.
