89-54 was a heck of a statement Bruce Pearl and his players running out to the lobby to thank the fans after they routed the Jackrabbits was an even bigger one.
"I think tonight you have to look at what our full-court press can do to our opponents. In the half-court it could be an even game but, over 94 feet, we thought we might be able to force some tempo and some turnovers." Bruce Pearl
I remember watching the game in the first four minutes and my friend said wow look at both teams fly around. The tempo that Bruce Pearl made his team set was one that couldn't be matched most teams try to slow down a game but he did the opposite and wore the other team's players down. The funny thing is there was never a point in the game that the five starters let up till they were substituted very late in the second half. Our heart as a team is what separates us from what we not too long ago were. And one more note are you kidding me 22 turnovers and 24 points off the bench that's some good stuff. Play like this on Saturday and you will prove you deserved to be in NCAA last year and that your in the running this year. Take out Chicago!!! Go Panthers!!!!!!!
