Before the game I would have been thrilled with a 24 point victory. I was feeling greedy by the middle of the second half when we built the lead to 34. I guess 24 will do, though.

Great shooting at a very good time. Now get Mounce knocking them and we will really be cruising.

Another outstanding game from Mike Bothwell. He is playing like a SoCon POY right now.

Another strong defensive game by the team.

Fun ride tonight for the Paladins back to campus. Our talent, depth, effort and coaching is very evident in today’s game. Bring on Cincinnati/Go Paladins!
Yes, except for the depth part. That still hasn't shown up at all. There should be enough blowout wins though that the starters will have games without crazy minutes.

There is much more to depth than just points.

Before today's game, our average over three games - including games against two D-2's - included the following worst stats:
- 3pt FG per game: 6.3 (we averaged 9.4 last season)
- 3pt FG percentage: 23.5% (we averaged 35.2% last season)
- Turnovers per game: 13.3 (we averaged only 11.5 last season)

After today's game, our updated average over our four games:
- 3pt FG per game: 8.8 (improved our season average by a whopping 2.5. That's what sixteen made 3's will do)
- 3pt FG percentage: 34.7% (improved our season average by 9.2%)
- Turnovers per game: 12.8 (improved our season average by 0.5%)

It would be one thing to post that kind of improvement after playing another D-2 or D-3 ... but those numbers improved on an away game against a quality D-1 opponent. Outstanding.

A complete game. We have played well defensively in all our games and it was there today as well. Looks they were determined to have a good start. Today the shots started falling! Another solid game for Slawson. He looks so much more confident & comfortable. Bothwell is a STAR right now. Very aggressive. Tell me who is playing better in SoCon?

How long is drive to Cincy?
