Jacks made a game of it in the end. Cut it to 5 after being down by 16-17. Santa Clara 68 and NAU 63.
Thanks to this years seniors. DeAngelo Jones - you have been all heart the last 2 years. A future career as a defensive coach, perhaps? Julian Olubuyi - all heart and no quit as well. Next time a student of mine tells me they can't do something I'll reference you as an undersized but never out-hustled NCAA point guard. Eric Platt - a few more "bangs" in the game tonight was awesome. Hope you enjoyed playing your last few years in Flagstaff. Shane Johannsen - from walking on to being one of the national leaders in shooting percentage. Getting a degree is engineering is tough without having sports practice obligations on top. It's been a pleasure watching Cameron Jones. I'll miss that mid-range jumper of his. Go show those guards in the NBA the lost art of a 10-15 foot jumper. Coach Adras, asst. coaching staff/support and Mitch Strohman/Coach Dave Brown all deserve credit as well.
Now come on WSU, UM and UNC. Give em hell the rest of the way.
