That play lit a fire under the Cougs. I understand that Tony’s offense is a slow-it-down, grind-it-out type thing, but plays like that can be the difference in momentum in a close game, as extremely evident in that game last night.

That's the first time I noticed that

I think he thought there was a tie-up on the floor. Good thing the refs swallowed their whistles for once. After all, we couldn’t even count on them to not blow it when nothing happened last night. (The shot clock thing.)

Also

I’m pretty sure that was a travel on Forrest for rolling over with the ball. Thank God the refs didn’t call that either ‘cause it could’ve been called. It was a close call and when I was watching live I started cursing Caleb … and then my head cocked to one side like my dog does when I fart … and then BOOOOOOOMMM!

I was wondering around my living room with my hands on my head and my jaw on the floor trying to figure out what had just happened. It took me about 30 seconds before I actually started cheering, I was literally stunned.

I was actually a little surprised that the refs didn't call an offensive foul on Thompson there

We never seem to get the benefit of the doubt at home. The Stanford guy looks to have his feet set.

And how in the world did Klay get a foul shot after that. He initiated all of the contact, the defender didn’t even raise his hands - like he would have had time, before Klay rammed it down his throat anyway…

I think that's why Klay got to the line on that

Johnson was running down the floor with his back to Thompson right up until the end. Thompson was already airborn when Johnson’s weak attempt to draw the charge was too late and served only to undercut him.

The timing couldn't have been better, either.

To take the lead! I wish he’d show that kind of aggression to the basket more often. I was jumping and screaming (bad back be damned), and even the dog was barking and running around.

Klay inspired me today while I was playing at 24 hour fitness

I threw down the sickest weak one handed dunk over this kid with red hair. Exactly the same.
