I rewatched this game last night and it was sheer joy. I would like to draw your attention to a special moment: At the moment in the second half when Tyson was single handedly rallying the team back from Santa Clara getting within 6 points and having momentum, he gets into a tussle with a Santa Clara player. You will remember that moment. Go back and watch that right as they pull the players apart, Fardaws Aimaq very calmly and deliberately walks himself right up to that player and the Santa Clara team and just stands there. OH MY GOD. He walks up and stands there and with his mere presence is saying: "Don't you even think of going after my guy Tyson"! It's one of the most subtle and significant moments in the game to me.
That energy, esprit de corps, toughness, and Band of Brothers in that moment just speaks volumes. It's not that every team doesn't stick up for one another. There is something different in the energy of this team. Tyson, Kennedy, Aimaq, Cone, even Larson and the rest of the gang. They play with a purpose and resolve and toughness that I admire.
And another moment to notice. As the game is ending, see Kennedy going down the sideline and high fiving the fans all along that stretch of the court. How often do you see that? That's a guy who loves the game and appreciates the fans who show up.
I'm a fan of the Buddhist saying that "How you do one thing is how you do everything". Much to unpackage there. With teams, it speaks to culture and motivational energies they possess. This team, though still gelling, seems to have that "IT" factor.
It's at the 4:52 left in the game spot. Fardaws clearly walks forward in a calm but clear manner as the rest of the guys peel away to get Tyson out of trouble. Who walks forward, alone, to defend his teammates, surrounded by the enemy? Fardaws Aimaq!
I have the horrible Fubo TV app only so I can get Pac12Networks for this one final year, and I have it on my recording list. Without "official" access to the recording, I don't know. My teen son is off to college and no longer in the house, so we have lost our access to his illegal streaming knowledge of any first run movies and every other event in the cosmos.

Kennedy and Cone took extra effort to high five a bunch of kids who reached down from the stands as they were leaving.
They didn’t leave till they got to each of them
That's cool, thanks for sharing. I sure wish I could attend home games in Berkeley.

I saw the word "Enters" and thought Cone entered the transfer portal.
