Get more australians!

 

Yes, we've got a "kangaroo court."

[Clickclack]

Lol... At this point change the great dane to a kangaroo...

12 games over .500 seems crazy to type that.

Not much crazier than typing the women are 11 games over .500 - the two hoops teams are a combined 30-7

I was going to mention that I noticed the ladies won again... Hoops at ua right is in a really healthy spot...

Washington plays tonight at 11 on ESPNU... I'll check it out, could help our RPI further.

Rowley has been a revelation since he'd moved to the starting lineup. Every team needs a guy l like that, and for a while we didn't have that toughness. Love this kid.

 

And Hooley? What else needs to be said. This kid looks like he is NEVER flustered. He's as even keel as they come and always has his head in the game. Can't wait till the next home game.

 

Also, we beat them by 10 even when Black was 1-13. He won't be that bad most games, so it's nice to see he had backup.

Really solid win on the road against an upper half team. Hartford had been 6-2 at home going into this game. As Click pointed out on the AE board we're the first AE team to play half our road games and the only team in the conference to have a winning record on the road so far.

 

I'm glad Hooley had break-out game. It's seemed like teams have placed a premium on stopping Iati and Black. It will be interesting if a couple of stand out games by the Ley Brothers will chang how other teams defend us.

Can't remember if it was Whyland who pointed it out or someone else but the hope is with Rowleys emergence and Hooleys drive to the basket hopefully it will loosen up the outside for Iati and create move lanes for Black.

Awesome time at the game tonight. So great to win a game like this on the road with Iati and Black shooting 3-20. I wonder what teams will do going forward to defend us. Will they continue to try and shut down Black and Iati and let Hooley and Rowley and others beat them or is this going to force teams to stop pressuring so far away from the basket.

 

After the first 59 seconds of the game Coach Brown called a timeout. He said the team was playing on their heels, he didn't like the offensive flow staying around the perimeter and said something like, "We need to get inside so they stop pressuring us so much on the outside!!" I really felt that it made a difference in the game. It didn't allow Hartford to get out to a big lead and it focused the players more.

This is championship caliber stuff. These are the types of games champions win.

The bracket for the 1st seed is easier than for the 2nd, especially this year. Win the 1st seed,

and get two things... home court in the championship game, and an easier 1st and 2nd rounds in the tourny.

 

I'm not sure what happened in the uvm game, but this team is reminding me of the championship teams years back.

I'd rather not remember the UVM game...the only explanation is that things went sideways and they totally lost their composure. They've answered the bell since...important stretch coming up with 4 home games.

 

Coming up BU/UVM/SBU...yikes...one at a time.

Damn, anyone watching the gonzaga/butler game? Close! It's important that our young men don't forget the uvm game, and what happens when you let your guard down.
