Great night in the A-10. I like where we are at. Hope the students come out Saturday for the GW game.

Can we opt to play GW on the road?

I know SLU was/is the favorite, they're talented, and they had a decent OOC, but they have not played us, Davidson, vcu or Dayton. The only two teams they've played in the top HALF of the conference are URI and Duq. They just lost to Duq and beat URI by 7. At home. As a reminder, we blew RI out on the road.

In fact, the only double digit win in conference was an 11 pt. home win over St. Joe. We beat them by 25. On the road.

We have 4 common opponents. All wins for both squads. Their margin of victory was 24. Ours was 50.

I know we have a lot of time to blow this season, and some teams we don't match up really well with, but are we sure they are the class of the conference?

I know one game at a time, one game at a time.

But this team has a chance to take the ship guys. A legit chance.

Beautiful. And let’s have it stay that way.

Dayton is probably as bad matchup for us as anyone in the A10. SLU is built similarly. But if we’re beating teams where we can’t put Greene or Kier on the best player, we’re in good shape.

It is important to my sense of superstition that all positive posts are tempered with a "we can still blow it."

Hey, Greene boxed out Cunningham on the last three miss that sealed the game for us, prevented Cunningham from getting the offensive rebound and Reuter seals the game for us.

Awesome awesome win. My observations:

*This team can compete with anyone with the D they are playing, even when they were struggling early (which seemed to me to be an issue with rotating out of double teams) they made adjustments and locked down UD at home.
*Have kept opponents to 68 points or less in last nine games since allowing Vermont to score 72 (7 of the 9 have been 63 pts or less)
*I think Calixte hitting those 2 FT's was the play of the game
*Can't believe those idiots played living on a prayer just before UD's last possession with 15 seconds left
*My two year old needs to learn not to clap and cheer when the crowd does when we are watching away games on tv (but he is getting much better at chanting defense and putting his hands up during FT's)
*Let's go URI!!!

Spot on with Calixte making those two FT’s being huge. You could see and hear the entire bench erupt when that second one fell. Once those went in I knew it was fate but then their PA announcer played Livin’ On A Prayer during one of the final timeouts, after that I knew it was meant to be.

I mean, not saying they didn’t contribute. It just wasn’t their game-long assignment to shut him down.

(Missed the live game - just finished watching the game in replay)

Biggest win this year!

There was a pretty loud audible cheer from our bench when he made the first one...huge shots for Calixte.

Another great win. When the Caps were playing well earlier this year, Mason was struggling. Now that Mason is doing well, the Caps are falling apart. Who’d have thought that of those two, that it would be Mason killing it and the defending Stanley cup champs looking like they are the Fordham of the league.

Let’s go seal the deal in the Revolutionary rivalry on Saturday!

Was at choir practice so after the game I go to my favorite play by play description, this board. Needless to say face rape will forever be ingrained in my head
