The in-between musical artist was so bad I flipped it over to Masked Singer... what happened to Miley Cyrus' voice?

Just way too skilled and athletic for their guards. Was surprised as the quickness discrepancy.

They were overwhelmed and we coasted in the second half.

I have no idea which players had COVID and which ones didn't, nor how bad it was. But the somewhat struggling JTT we saw the first 3 games back from the COVID break has re-emerged as the highly energetic, effective, productive JTT from early season and THAT is a fantastic sign for Monday night.

The great thing is both of these teams are exerting maximum effort the entire game.

Every little bit helps

Great victory. Loved every minute. We were just flat better, all there was to it. Onto the next one. I still am processing this a bit, but I've got 2 days I guess.

I remember the Louisville female thugs beat us in the Sweet 16 on Easter night 2013.
