One game in and so it begins.
Well done.
I did listen in at spots while in car, seemed a pretty typical MBB game, series of runs and answers. Get up, they have a mini run and we're back within 3-4 pts.
Good news is, as that same old creepy feeling was beginning to take hold, the near patented JMU blown lead and 5 pt loss after leading most of the night, didn't take happen here.
As noted several times above, we hit some FT's (those are "free" correct? No hand in face etc.?!?) and this thing isn't really that close. But, even with that glaring hole they managed to close it out for a season opening W. Take that W, stick it in the back pocket, on to the next one. Job reasonably well done.
If this team can continue to progress (*cough FT's cough*) and show this program still has a pulse, people may well begin to tune in again.
Faaaar to early to tell, of course, but the early season optimism blooms anew.
We're bringing the trophy to this side of the mountain this year!
Next year's game will spotlight the prior two NCs.

And anyone who was a Redskins fan in the 80s will remember George Rogers and the amount of time he missed with that thing. If it's a legit high ankle sprain, no chance we see him on Sunday. Getting him back for the second half of the OOC would be a great outcome.
Biggest concern for me is that they're reeeaaaally easy to re-aggravate, all the way back to step one. One little roll of the ankle and *pooof*, back in a boot.

I was at the game, wasn't pretty, but a fun game. Crowd got into it. That's consecutive nice home wins over Davidson and Wake for the Niners.
I think Wake is pretty bad, but will see them again on Friday against Davidson. Hope to see the Deacons lose another.
