I'm not a huge Dougherty fan, but thought this was very well done. The vision of a tearful Yancy after the St. John's game going to Mick is a powerful one. Is that the moment the light finally came on for this young man? I truly hope so.

I hope so, too. He has played with a purpose since then. And how about 10 for 10 from the line today?

I continue to be amazed at Gates' stamina and endurance as the season goes on. It was a physical battle down low today against the Hoyas, and Gates continued to run the floor and was not afraid to body-up guys. I have been impressed with his patience lately, or at least since the suspended game. He does not seem to be getting frustrated when the offense is not getting him the ball. He seems to be comfortable playing his role in the offense, and taking shots when open. I was in the upper deck today, but I know I heard him call "bank" on the halftime three. His work from the free throws seems to be paying off. Mick said in the last five games, his FT% is 71%. Not too shabby for the big man. Good game for Gates and the Bearcats!
