That dunk in ot in the season finale vs Davidson I think cleared his mind about his knee and gave him confidence in being what he used to be.

Re: Mathews big bucket with 1 minute to go
They mentioned during the telecast that he wanted to take the knee brace off going into the tournament, but Hurley wanted him to keep it on. Sounds like he won't have it next season thoughwgracie99 wrote:That dunk in ot in the season finale vs Davidson I think cleared his mind about his knee and gave him confidence in being what he used to be.

I unleashed a very primal yell when he made that shot.

That was a huge hoop, once that one fell we knew we were destined to win

Re: Mathews big bucket with 1 minute to go
His recent performance really bodes well for him and the team going forward. During the first year it was, "well he's scoring, but teams are focused on Xavier, how will he do as the top guy?" Then the second year it was, "he's not efficient and he's turning the ball over too much. He's not really handling the top guy role well." This year it was "he can't hit the big shot in the clutch".
This weekend, he was efficient as our number one guy and he was clutch, always scoring at big times when we needed a bucket. It's unfair to think he'll be at this level all the time, but if he's closer to this level next year we have a good chance to repeat.

Absolute monster, clutch hoop
Scored it with 53 seconds to go in the game and only 6 seconds left on the shot clock to go up by a huge 5 points. That really was the game right there.
Hurley did a masterful job of using the shot clock time to minimize the opportunity for VCU to get back in the game. Many times we worked the clock down and yet still got a descent shot off and sometimes even hitting the 3 point shot from deep.
One time Terrell had the ball on the wing and could have taken it in for a descent shot but still he took it back outside and worked another 25 seconds off the clock.

Not to mention he took a hard foul there also. Nice making those front end of one on ones.

Also let's not forget what he did from the free throw line in his last 4 games. After struggling most of the year he finished making 20 out of 23 for 87%. How is that for a turn around!

Re: EC Matthews' big bucket with 1 minute to go
That is huge , EC should be 75-80 % from the line it's all confidence
He is definitely our go to guy with the shot clock winding down and now it seems like he has the confidence to make these tough baskets

That was the biggest shot of the biggest game we've had in a long time. The step back 3 to beat the shot clock was huge too. Plus the drive and dunk vs Davidson. Got to give the kid credit; he came thru in the clutch in the biggest games of his career.
