but his record shows he has never had the ability to win a conference tournament. It's been a brutal year. Lot's of head scratching. Last night, however, was perfection, and to me only proves one thing, that when shots fall, you can beat anyone. My biggest complaint with Rose is that his defenses and his half court execution have never been of caliber to win when the shots don't fall. That's what I'm waiting for. Grind out wins with back door cuts and defensive dominance. Last night, I saw about as close to that as ever, it also took the outside shots to fall however, to beat #1. All went right. Can he sustain it? I give him two years with his prize recruits.
