Was Landon Hamilton able to play.  I heard he was hurt.  If he didn’t, please don’t construe this as a shot at HC for winning. I am curious as I saw him at Ryle in the District 33 and he was great.  
 

Congrats to HC.

Yes, he did and Holy Cross full court face guarded him.

Javier Wards had the game or half of his life.  Dude was unconscious for the first half.  Difference in the game.

That was a great comeback by Connor. I was really getting worried for my Indians.

Conner played great in 2nd half. Give Holy Cross credit too. They built a big lead. Saw it fade away then took back over last 2-3 minutes. Ended on a 13-7 run after it was tied 67-67.

Shutting down Hamilton was huge.

Holy Cross did 2 huge two things and I will give them all the credit in the world for it. First, they had two scorers tonight who scored frequently, easily, and early in possessions which allowed them to control tempo and stymie their opponents’ momentum for the majority of the game. Second, they made Conner work for every point. Nothing came easily for the Cougars and that started with Hamilton being contained.
