No way is this the best win of the year. There will be 8 or 9 better wins to come.

The keys continue to be Mel to stay focused, involved and put up some numbers and someone else.. whether it be May, Olgesby or Archie/Brommer/Gabe come up with an incredible few minutes here and there.

Gatens for the most part is gold, Marble, White and McCabe will be solid.

The question remains with Bryce. If he can play the on ball defense and have 5 to 7 assists (with only a couple of TO's) the Hawks will have by far the best season in over 5 years and balling somewhere beyond the Big Ten Tourney.

It will be fun to watch.

The wisky game has been brought up in this thread and it was a great win. But how the hawks pulled this out and the timing of the win to me makes it the best win of they year. I think it will influence the rest of the year more than the wisky win did at the time.

This win was great for many reasons. One factor that I hope the team remembers - if our defense doesn't get the strip that led to Marble's 3 pointer, they go up by 7 and our hopes for a comeback really fade.
Marble's three late offensive moves were fantastic but don't underestimate the role of our improved defense late (as well as during first 10 minutes).
For Hawks to keep winning, a combination of key offensive highlight reels PLUS key steals and defensive stops.
