Remember after the disappointng loss at Alabama last year, a game we let slip away late we had our worst game of the year and got blown out in the first half by Winthrop. Need to get over this disappointing loss quickly as Radford is good enough to beat us if we don’t play well.

Remember 2 years go we lost a tough one in OT to Auburn and then ripped off 7 wins in a row?

I think this team has the leadership and moxie that was misssing last year.

I was thinking back on that Auburn game myself. I remember that as a game where Auburn was awful and we were slightly better than awful at times. This Belmont game was high level basketball. It seemed like a Sweet 16 game or something. Very good D, yet guys were making big shots all over the place, making clutch free throws as used to be expected in big time games, etc. I know we lost, but this team just looks way better than we’ve looked in 40 years (so far). We have several guys with pure, soft 3 point form. We have an additional veteran guy who can move the ball around with purpose when other guys get slightly shaky. And that damn Slawson, I wasn’t much of a fan before, but damn. He and others were contesting shots and fighting for every rebound which I had begun to think was against the rules for us. Talk about about getting everything out of the talent you’ve got.

If we can continue to play at 90% of the level we are at now, we will blow out the SoCon and probably only lose another 3-4 games.

After last night’s thriller, I’ll be curious whether we’ll get more or fewer votes in the AP-25. I could see it going either way.

Still getting votes! (not sure if ballots were submitted before or after last night’s loss, but I’ll take the publicity)
