We need to go to the basket. They don't have a shot blocker. Hugley and Hunter with some nice minutes off the bench

Casual uninspired effort. The defense was not there. Thank god for Conwell. We had better pick it up. There is a reason we only have four road wins.

We need to dig in on defense. Butler shot 51% from the field and 61% from the three point line . Tough to win on the road with that kind of defense.

We are coming on. Hope it's not to late. Freemantle , Conwell and Swain are playing well. Nice to see Hunter and Hugley play well. I think we need four more to make the tournament.

I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

I think a win against Providence and we are definitely IN no matter what happens in BE tourney.

win this weekend and we shoudn't be sweating anything but our seed.

maybe make some noise in BE tourney and help our seed just a bit.

that's my thoughts.

I was concerned about this one but they did a good job taking care of business.The first 5 minutes of the second half sealed the deal and the defense once again picked Butler's pocket . Let's do the same Saturday vs the Friars.
