Congratulations on a GREAT road win! Keep it going and you will still be playing somewhere after
Arch Madness. I would love to see it happen for you.

We are getting some nice comments from our competitors--'Cept for Detroit of the HL, I cannot recall that ever happening--Might have but doubtful--CLASS always does tell !!

This team of ours has a lot to prove--BUT they appear to be on the way--
--Must improve on FREEBIE SUCCESS
--OUR 8 and the rest MUST improve quickly so PM can rest our starters a tad more

Those two areas will really make our League take notice.
WE have shooting success--our Speed and Defense are cookin'--We are tiny so we just have to bang away with what we have--IF we keep up our shooting a Defense prowess we will be trouble, even though we are the littlest bunch around--The key early is that our opposition cannot guard everybody.

A side note--in tonight's game Milton appeared to ne ONE TIRED puppy at the end but PM had to use him---hence 8 and 9 MUST get better.

I really like how PM coached his night--I was right close so WE could see and here it all.

Brot...start booking your tickets. We need you at every game from here to the end of the season!

We're getting some good comments from fans of fellow conference members, but the team has genuinely earned it. Kent State is a tough place to play-- since 1997-98 they were 207-45 (.821) at home coming into this game. They're probably going to win 20 games again this year in a MAC conference that is stronger than years past. And coming on the heels of the UTSA win, it shows that it wasn't a fluke.

Rocky 2nd half as has been said. We're lucky our misses from the stripe didn't cost us in the end.

I will say though--was nice to see that Milion could have an off game and the rest of the guys would find a way to win. Last year it seemed like we lived and died by the #MiltonMiracle--could he score enough to keep us in it? But Devon Swaggy T Turk made big shots all game, Christian Thomas did what he does, and Jeff White stepped it up in the clutch when we needed him. He played like a vet last night.

Actually Bear---Beauty is in the eye...... ! Milton had in my view an excellent game. He was the "boss" out there --you could tell. He did have seven boards and seven assists--- You are truly correct though---HE had super help--Our guys ALL seemed to do the job--Best half I can remember--and they rebuffed the Flashes time after time when we got into trouble. These young 'uns will just get better and better--IF they kee[p pluggin' away===NOT like some of last years crowd. !!

Two roadie wins spells good things down the lane !!

Way to go Ramblers!!! What a nice way of starting a season... Winning all the games they're suppose to win, and winning 2 road games one of which was at best a coin toss.

Hopefully this possitive start will lead to some additional attendance for the Wednesday night game... It's something to build on. I'm excited!

Unlikely.
