“Senior Urgency” an unofficial scouting term I’ve told close confidents when discussing the performances that seniors produce come playoff time. Tonight, the versatile forward was the poster boy for this concept. When he’s off the court, he’s often riding a bike behind the bench staying warm, presumably due to some nagging injury. In back to back games when on the court, he’s attacked the rim hard. Finishing well though contact, . Strong is a good chess piece for programs, as there’s some ability to switch onto guards, hit jumpers, while also being tall and physical enough to battle around the rim.

In the biggest moment it was Strong that stepped up. Even with the clock running down, the highest leverage moment possible, Strong stayed calm. He caught it in the corner, but didn’t settle for the three. He took a couple dribbles to the midrange, pump faked and found enough space to burry a 15 footer as the clock expired to force overtime. It was a huge moment for the 6 foot 7 forward that has a couple offers from D2 and NAIA offers from Oklahoma.
