Wow. A win!

Not only that but it looks like we extended the lead!

The guys started to blow a big lead again in the second half, but righted the ship and finished strong.  Don't know how good Wright State is but they were favored by 8. Is this the start of something positive? Only time will tell. In the meantime, a win is a win is a win. A Gdub victory and a 2-game win streak by the WFT-- will miracles never cease!

Hail to the Buff! Hail to the Blue!!!!
Sure, there were wafts of U$C and I*%@ in the final 8 mins, and leaving Lindo on the court to be targetted by Wright St´s goon squad in the final min was not wise, but this was the team showing us its upside potential. And, Wright St has to look forward to not only going back to Ohio, not only going back to Dayton but going back to a suburb/ex-urb of Dayton... a thought that may entice more than a few players on the team to consider transferring to Naples Community School.
I won´t delve too deeply in to nit-picking today and instead will spend the night hoping the Colonials treat Kent St the way the Ohio National Guard treats anti-war protesters and massacres them (too soon?).

Kudos to Bishop for knocking down both ends of the one and one late in the second half.   Kid doesn't seem to mind shooting under pressure.   Freeman knocked down both his free throws at the end also.   Nice for a frosh to be able to do that.      Also, second half was another good piece of evidence in arguing Dean over Brown at the five,   Hunter Dean does appear to be a legitimate rebounding force, so long as he stays out of foul trouble, especially ticky tac fouls 35 feet away from the basket.  (None today, however).    And he can't do it on his own.

As per the GW official site, the Kent St game will be at 5:30pm Eastern on Tuesday. Again available to stream on FloSports (or better pirate sites).

Great to see a win for the good guys!  Looking forward to another one tomorrow

Hey, baby steps.   Although there was still a very low 12 assists on 29 made baskets, there were only 10 turnovers, so at least we were on the right side of the assist/turnover ratio.  Also, although the offensive rebounds given up were high (16), we did get 12 ourselves, and were only outrebounded by 2 for the game.  Seeing more and more glimpses of the Bishop who I think is a fabulous player, from Friday's second half and all game today.  Still perplexed at Harris being unable to get into the game.  

Saw the first half and last 4 min of game.  While watching Wright State, I didn't understand how they were 8 point favorites, even considering our very poor recent performances.  On the other hand, while watching our physical and talent advantage, I couldn't understand how we were not running away from them.  A lot of head scratching going on!  I can only surmise coaching is the issue.

Happy to see Hunter Dean back and making a difference.  Look forward to Noel's improvement.  Saw too may air balls on 3s and would like to see Amir play more.

Onward to play Kent State.
