WOW!

Congrats to Willard on the Sweet 16. What a difficult shot that kid Queen made. Talk about setting yourself up to be second guessed. That shot was about as hard as one can have inside the 3 point line, and if he misses it there would be all kinds of questioning the play.
 
Queen is his best player and he has guard like skills. The main thing was to run a set that got him the ball in space in the middle of the court. Yup it was a tough shot but Willard ran the play he wanted to.
 
Got his best player one on one, downhill against slow footed Ethan Morton. Thought it was a pretty good play considering the circumstances.
Play seemed fine. He went away from the "crowd" towards the side where only a MD shooter was positioned, and the C. St. kid was not going to leave the "shooter", so basically it was creating a one-v-one in space for Queen. The C. St. kid defended that about as well as you could -- a point Jay Wright just made in the studio but which seemed pretty apparent even for someone uneducated in such things like me -- forcing Queen to make what Wright called an incredibly difficult shot when you consider where and how he shot that ball.

The game winner was awesome. But you can watch hoops for a long time and not see a center make the move Queen made earlier on the amazing spin move.
 
I thought Colorado State played it well. They got the big on him close with a hand in his face. Queen simply hit a hugely difficult bank shot, what can you do. Just like the C St. player hit that bomb 3.

But you see the skill level of elite players in this tournament which has been dominated by the big money teams. Smooth, strong, make shots.

Queen was asked about Williard in the postgame presser. While complimentary to the coach, Queen also said he listens bc first thing is he got paid, LOL!
 
Oregon did a nice job feeding the post for a while. Big kid was unstoppable but then they stopped & started launching 3's.
