What a monumental game. What an action packed performance by both sides, an electric atmosphere on New Year’s eve with these two powerful programs going at it.
With the air being pressured by Khyri Thomas on Josh Hart it was high time that Jalen Brunson have a spectacular game. This revealed itself early and often as he managed to dump in 16 points in the first half. A majority of these points were scored as Maurice Watson Jr., exited early with two fouls, forcing Isaiah Zierden to match-up against him. Time after time the Wildcats used a high screen to get Brunson open for a great look.
