Trailing 23-22 at the half Defense has kept us in it despite being out rebounded 23-10 Myo leads us with 6 points Gardner and Pacheco have 5 each

Apparently Purple is in the house along with SCAR

No. we just got shout outs. We watched them on FBlive. I'm in WS I should have gone. But I had a friend trying to get me WF/UNC tickets and didn't know LU was playing till too late
Now I'm at Big Daddy's Burger Bar consuming some monstrous creation i came up with

Big win. This was the swing game to stay in that top 3 or fall back in the middle of the pack. I thought we actually looked the part on defense consistently for the first time this year tonight. Thats what has to happen to carry us through cold shooting night.

A W is a W, but we are not going to win many games if we don't have significant improvement over tonight's game. That HP gym is a sad, little, cracker box , it is a wonder they get any decent players.

Combined record of the teams we've beaten: 5-15. 3 of the 4 teams are the bottom 3 teams in the league. We can only beat the teams on the schedule and cant do much better than we've done but I think this shows we dont really know where we stand yet. It just says we dont suck. Which is always a relief.

That's basically where I am, although I think I may be a bit more optimistic I'm looking forward to seeing this scrappy group continue to find a way to win against some of the better BSC teams in the next couple of weeks

Find me 3 more teams in the league that will go 3-0 at HPU, CSU, and PC. I don't think you can.

Bingo. If those were home wins then against those 3 it wouldnt be as impressive. To be a top 3 team you have to beat the bottom half of the league on the road. Weve never done that consistently. Doesnt mean we will stay there but that was a big win. Saturday is another big one.
