“With kindest regards to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the father of basketball coaching, from the father of the game.”

Recall during the 2nd half when the sideline reporter interviewed Frank Mason, and closed with a question as to whether Frank thought DG had what it took to lead the team to great outcomes (paraphrasing). Frank said something to the effect of "Well, we're down by 8 now, so let's see what he does."
I just saw this posted on another board, and it's worth punctuating here. This is Devonte's final 4 minutes last night, starting at the most bleak point in the game:
After Daxter Miles' three put WVU up 8 with 3:47...
+ Devonte' made three pointer
+ Devonte long pass ahead for Udoka flush/Konate flop, assist
+ Devonte drive and kick to Newman for corner three, assist
+ Devonte made two free throws
+ Devonte pass for Newman layup, assist
+ Devonte made three free throws
+ Devonte made two free throws
10 points, 3 assists (he already had 8 rebounds) in final 4 minutes while holding Jevon Carter to 0-for-3 shooting (until his long three with 5 seconds left) and 2 personal fouls during that stretch.
Incredible. Sir Frank, I'd say he answered your question!
