Discuss.

Lots on the line. Do we let down after an emotional win? Can we handle recent success? Will Ian Boyd make it 4 in a row? Can we seal the 4th seed and get the double bye? Can we continue our recent dominance of the Spiders? Will we build yet another double digit lead only to see it disappear like a fart in the wind? The roller coaster ride continues. Heart says Mason by 6. Mind says the Spiders by 5.

I think we should just make a deal to not play the whole game and just give Boyd a halfcourt shot. He makes it we win, he misses it we lose.

You know, he has done a lay up, a tip in, a 3 pointer to win a game. Half court would be next.

Richmond can afford to do thing, old private school with a huge endowment. I love the renovation they did to the Robbins Center. Cutting their capacity from 9,000 to about 7,200 but adding a club level.
Must be nice to get a 7.5 million dollar gift from 1 couple to start building a separate practice facility.

He would have won the lets-make-a-deal shooting game we do during timeouts....

How the team is prepared and focused on Saturday will tell me a lot about DP, IMO.

I like the Robins Center. Mrs. Profit and I were discussing last week at the UMass game about how they need a serious, serious, renovation at Patriot Center. Unfortunately, if it hasn't been done yet, it probably won't be done. Would love to see capacity cut 25% to 30%.

Grayer gets into the buzzer beater party?

Grayer gets into the buzzer beater party?

Call me crazy, but I'm going to go Boyd. Until it stops, I'm rolling with it. These finishes by him have to really give him confidence going forward. As we all saw, he struggled big time on the floor earlier in season. He is very athletic and competitive. He just needs to get out there and let it go. He'll make mistakes, but the upside is worth it.

This team more confusing than trying to figure out what my wife means when I ask her where she wants to go for dinner and she says "where ever."

Just win!

"Popeye's it is, then" usually gets me a more specific answer.

I mean, there's no doubt we've improved significantly since the first half of the season. I keep cringing, waiting for one of those inexplicable blowouts we've sustained, but maybe those days are over.

No reason to think we don't win, but I've predicted a lot of losses lately and we've done well, so I'll say UR 72, Mason 67.

Pleased with this team. Even without Boyd's heroics, clear we've improved and we're a better team now. That's all I wanted this year.
