Nice to see that today we didn't fold down the stretch in close games. We seem to struggle on road even against sub-par competition as was the case today. I would have to say I do not like our chances against FGCU if we met them in the conference final.FGCU beat Bellarmine by 30+ points each game. They have lost only 2 games (both ranked teams) all year both w/o Ohio State transfer Kiersten Bell (25 and 12/game). Beat KSU by 50 today and avg ASUN win is 30+. This after losing all 5 starters from last year's team that was ranked in top 25!!!!

The other recruits we signed have unimpressive backgrounds. Getting some transfers which could kill us down the road. Maybe Coach Green is looking to retire. He had some great teams back in the day.With the exception of 2005 and possibly one or 2 of the years we had the Frazees, I suspect this team is about as good as any we have had. The BSC back in those days was a ridiculously easy path to the dance.
