That's all that matters so huge kudos to the coaches and players.
That said, while the D was elite (16 TOs!), CMC ran only 1 legit set play coming down the stretch in their halfcourt O!........the winning shot set for Dailey. Again, in the last 5 or so mins, only 1 set play as we all agonized over the missed perimeter Js. That's something to think about come Tourney time.
And while I'm kicking sand in the midst of a fab W, those who are convinced that Mara is the 2nd coming, might want to look a little closer at the key D assignments he missed as MSU made its run in the paint. He was also out-rebounded by 4 other Bruins. Then you can look at his O ~ he went 1-7 from the field on actual shots, excluding the two undefended dunks he made off of great UCLA passes to him on broken plays. Aday has been huge in our recent surge, but as CMA noted at one of his recent pressers, it's not like the Celtics have got him in their roster plans.
