Their 100-67 win over Kansas in the last round showed how devastating Butler can be when he's in the zone. But that is just half of our problems. Aside from being an explosive offensive team, ARK is also one of the best defensive teams; 55.6 opp ppg (#1 Nat'l), 37.4% opp FG (#3)How they got here At-large selection (1st place, SEC regular season)(2nd Rd) Def Charleston, 61-41 (Butler 36 pts, 10 3s)(3rd Rd) Def North Carolina St, 66-54 (Butler 11 pts, 2 3s)(Sweet 16) Def Kansas, 100-67 (Butler 51 pts, 16 3s) 1st Half We had initial success in defending ARK's SG Jared Butler but he eventually found his groove. Nothing separates much both teams. It is still anybody's game. The key would be to minimize our turnovers, and not let the other ARK players (other than Butler) make some damage on the offensive end Halftime: Down 29-35 Key stat(s) TOs: WASH 10, ARK 103PT: WASH 5-14, ARK 5-18Key Players WASH: SG Winston Waldon 12 pts, 3 asts, 2 3sARK: SG Jared Butler 20 pts, 4 3s 2nd Half ARK's SG Jared Butler adding 4 more 3s; he now has 8 triples in the game, 32 pts. Our shooting not able to keep up11:25, Down 38-52 Our deficit even grew while ARK's SG Jared Butler was on the bench. Our reign as 2-time defending champs quickly coming to a close3:35, Down 45-70 Not only we got beaten by a better player, we got beaten by a better team. ARK's SG Jared Butler finished with 41 pts, 6 rebs, 11 3s! Still a good season though, considering the revamped lineup we had.

At first, it seems to be not working as we're committing almost the same number of mistakes as PITT. But it was during the last 4 mins when our efforts starting to pay off, finally getting those steals that lead to easy baskets. Down 25-27, we finish the 1st half on a 16-4 run. Before we head to the locker, I had some heated discussions with the refs regarding the discrepancy on fouls. Halftime: Up 41-31 Key stat(s) Fast break: WASH 18, PITT 6Fouls: WASH 8, PITT 0Key Players WASH: SF Michael Davis 14 pts, 4 stls, 7-7 FG; SG Winston Waldon 14 pts, 4 3sPITT: SG Robert Price 7 pts, 4 tos 2nd Half We started the 2nd half on a 9-0 run, and take a commanding 19 pt lead. Just as when everybody thought PITT is done, they came back with a 13-2 explosion.11:21, Up 52-44 All I ask for the 2nd unit is to be able to hold the lead as long as possible, before our starters get back to the floor. The reserves did their job; PG Tim Thomas chipped in all of his 5 pts here in the 2nd half, while SF Pat Canal has 8 pts off the bench.7:15, Up 59-48 With a well-rested starting unit back on the floor, it was clear which team had more energy3:31, Up 65-50 SG Winston Waldon answered back a 3 made by PITT earlier. Still up 15. We're i the penalty. Interestingly, PITT has yet to commit a foul even up to this point of the game (37+ mins gone by). PITT made 2 FTs. On our nest possession, Waldon buries in another dagger 3, and that could be the finishing blow1:56, Up 71-55 We slowed down afterwards. And we're 1 away from another Final 4 appearance!

Most of the scoring is being done inside the paint at both ends of the court. PF Joey Petty doing well to challenge the interior defense of OK, 9 pts on 4-4 FG.

PG Brent Green, with only 2 pts in the 1st half, also connecting twice from downtown. PF Joey Petty continues to be effective inside with 13 pts. We took a gamble and decided to challenge OK's outside shooting, hoping to limit C Eli Beerbohm's production. So far so good, a 19-5 run to start the 2nd half14:40, Up 52-34 Only 4 FGs so far for OK midway into the 2nd half, while SG Winston Waldon resumed his scoring ways.9:41, Up 62-38 I took to opportunity to rest some of our key players. It turned out a window of opportunity that OK is waiting, and they are now making a run. I called timeout to break momentum, and bring back my starting 5. This is far from over5:14, Up 66-53 A clutch hit by SF Michael Davis, who has scored all of his 8 pts here in the 2nd half. Davis also grabbed an offensive rebound, which turned into a 3pt shot by SG Winston Waldon3:10, Up 71-55 Still up by 14 with 1 minute left. I told the guys to slow down. OK never even bothered to give up fouls, and we were happy to just run the clock away We're moving on to our 4th straight Sweet 16!

I decided to stay with my 2nd unit the remainder of the 1st half. Not only did our reserves shot better than our starters, they also played good defense, and we led by as many as 17.
