Wonderful performance and wonderful atmosphere from our guys. That was the loudest I have ever heard Verizon.

Markel and DSR really came to play.

I said to the group in our section, and will say it here now. I was flat out wrong about DSR. At the start of the year I repeatedly said to everyone in our section at Verizon that he would NEVER be able to score against Big East defense. Let alone the ridiculous defense he was playing which we were warned about. The kid went out on the court and totally proved me wrong about my scoring comment, and his effort on D has continued to improve throughout the year. I know he is not a favored player on this board, and there is still a lot of book left to write on him. For me I will no longer question his place on the team, and will concede that he is an important cog to any continued success we have in front of us this year.

Kudos to the kid for realizing that the crap effort he was getting by would not cut it in Div 1 bball. Also, kudos for III for getting this through to him.
