The mistakes near the end of the Kansas game didn't seem to appear in #Memphis win. "In the Kansas game, I told our guys we made mistakes coming down the stretch that we can control," Thompson said. "Tonight we made plays as opposed to making mistakes at key points, so hopefully that's growth for this group."

The Hoyas will be at the one game at a time mode playing with same "intensity" that has gotten them to this point. The "chemistry and team bond" is a sight to see. The experience gained since August has paid dividends and will continue to do so for the team.  We know the world is watching that's one reason the Hoyas know they have "something to prove" each and every practice and game. Hoyanation, is all about, "When We Stand Together."
