At the D2 level, we played in The Mason-Dixon conference, and I don't remember us ever winning it, mostly thanks to the presence of Mt. St. Mary's, coached by Jim Phelan.

He may have told them earlier about being off tomorrow. No one should have mentioned anything about being off, until AFTER we had won.

Have the guard play to repeat again but not sure we have a big man yet.I think we'll be fine with Preston and Newton. Preston's played a little better in the last few times he's played, and I've always thought Newton wasn't that bad. Either way, those guys' roles will be to box out, rebound, block shots, and clog the lane. I'm sure the O will go through McGhee, Rode, Robinson, and some of our incoming freshman.

I just felt like we rarely played up to our potential but I was proven wrong today with that impressive performance on national TV30-4 and did not lose a home or neutral court game all year. Yeah, they "underachieved".
