Can I be happy with a 7th place conference finish? This year, with this team and it's injuries etc ABSOLUTELY!

Great win on the road! A 13 point win on the road is something to be very, very proud of!

Coach Layer has done a great job getting these to buy into his philosophy

VMI is getting rocked by Gardner Webb, so they will draw to within a game of us for 6th. (let me do the math here for tiebreakers)

Can't pin this one on him. He was at the Women's game and we know what almost happened there! Unless, he took Falwell 1 hmmmmm

Basically, if the tiebreakers are what they were last year, we need a win against VMI, then also a win against Coastal or Campbell (or preferably both). CSU is our best win, so if VMI were to beat them they would be 1-0 against CSU, versus us being 1-1, and they would get the tiebreaker. Also, VMI plays Coastal, so beating Coastal would be preferable to beating Campbell, though of course the road is much easier if you win all three.

Complicated enough? :D

I just noticed this, if we host as the 7 seed or 8 on Feb. 27, the ladies have a game scheduled for that night at 7. So when will the game get played? There would be a schedule conflict.

We can either do a double header, which would be cool. Or I bet Randolph's gym is available! :D

Must admit it, the team has drawn me back in a bit. It's impressive that they didn't just mail it in a couple weeks ago. I think thats a solid sign that Layer has the guy's playing hard for him. Doesn't mean the future is set, but it's still a good and welcome sign.

I believe one of our esteemed posters, name escapes me but I do remember his intellect is stunning, said that this team will suprise a couple of conference foes by the end of the year. Gee who was that... :dontgetit

Purple, I don't recall saying that, but I was certainly thinking it. You must be a mind reader, too.

I know this sounds mean to say but do you think that seeing us win like this bothers folks like ToC and IMBach? I mean with the team playing much better basketball they really dont come around much so it got me thinking if they wanted to see us lose and crash and burn or something...

Yes, but quit thinking so much.

Another good win. Every game out these guys play better. Sounds to me like good coaching and a "wonderful" job. Let's just hope this run lasts a couple more weeks.
