Wow

What a performance. The best win of the season, perhaps the best effort of the year. A brilliant start by the Blue Devils was capped by a big finish.
There was quite a shaky stretch in the middle, but it's hard to expect a team this young to be solid for 40 minutes straight.
What to take out of this win?
1) Central can beat good teams. The talent is there. UMBC had a cold night and Barbosa was banged up, but the Blue Devils belonged on the court with the opposition.
2) Stability is a wonderful thing. Shemik and Tristan seem to be the backcourt of choice, and David Simmons has done more than enough to take a role in the frontcourt along with Horton. The third guard/small forward role might change, but those four are set for the time being.
3) Defense. If Central can defend at this level all season, it can figure out ways to score enough points to win.
