So McCall Bridge is 51 minutes last night of intense basketball.

And sometimes you still get frustrated with him.

I feel like he's clanging these threes more often than he's making him.

But his defense was unbelievable.

His energy level was unbelievable.

He hits that three in overtime.

He so much pressure on him because of all the picks that were given up.

He has not really hit the ceiling we were looking for.

But last night, even though, you know, it's not like he scored 45 points, but last night.

51 minutes, man.

He was as crucial as anybody in that basketball game.

And he really, he earns every bit of praise this morning.

I'll say that you can understand why those guys have won over one two national championships you can you can see it yeah i mean

and i pointed out josh hart those early rebounds where he was getting back-to-back

offensive rebounds on the same possession yeah and you could just see he's the

smallest guy on the court and he's going up there getting rebounds and uh they all want to play that's

if you know the NBA has received an enormous amount of criticism over the last 20 years about rest

days taking days off and then of course tibbs gets criticized for playing his guys too much.

And we sit here as fans and try to go pinballing back and forth between the two thoughts.

And I'm like, man, I want the guys to play.

And the one thing about the Villanova guys, they want to play.

They want to be on the court.
