Nice bounce back today. Contributions from a lot of different places. Nice to win without Sakota having a great game. The teams defended like it was the 3rd game in 48 hours, but overall we had good energy. On to New Jersey.

So......we were one blunder away from possibly sweeping all three games.

How even did you think the refereeing was?

Yes, all in all, a good 3 game stretch. I thought we came out as the more aggressive team and started getting the whistle early. Overall, I thought the refs did OK. If anyone, it was us that got the 50/50 whistle.

The ECU-Kennesaw ending was wild yesterday by the way. Kennesaw hit a shot 2ith like 3 seconds left to go up 2 and then lost on a heave from behind halfcourt. They sure had a wild three games.

I thought the officiating was okay.

NU Guy was right, we could’ve swept all 3 games. I want to see how we play against Princeton and Seton Hall before I have a true sense of how good we can be.

I watched the replay of the Princeton Duquesne game. The Tiger's starting bigs are both 6' 7" and as a team they don't LOOK all that athletic but they are quick, never take bad shots, hardly ever turn the ball ovar and are smart aND hAve a grat PG. It should be a long night but a good learning experience.

All I'm going to say is, last year we had plenty of chances to win that game against them in London as they went on to the Sweet 16 later on...

We typically play well against them.

I took a look at what both teams lost from last year and the Tigers lost a lot...mainly Tosan, who was their do it all center who the offense ran through. He averaged 16 ppg, 7.3 rpg and 6 apg. We lost less and we now have a PG and some improved sophs. Maybe not as long a night as I first thought.
