    yeah, the team has looked a little more like the early season team lately. hopefully, this will be how it finishes out. i'll try to forget the middle 30 games.

    That's one on one interviews with people who have zero respect for Jim.

    I'd say the writing is on the wall for Jim. She's just doing her due diligence.

    Yeah, he's done. I don't care one way or another.

    Optimism: We passed up our win total from last year through 54 games.

    That starting lineup was great. The ball was moving quickly, the guys were moving instead of staying still, and probably most importantly the defensive rotations were fantastic. Tarik and Julius may not be able to block shots, but they were still flying around and working hard. D'Angelo and Nick were playing well on the perimeter and Ingram was cleaning up on the glass with his length and pushing the ball effectively.

    I really liked what I saw. I fully expect them to look lethargic and confused in the next game, but that's okay. We're seeing the flashes again at least.

    It's a shame, if we had taken care of the teams we shouldve.... we'd be in the 8th or 7th spot.... We should've beaten a lot of these teams...

    We need a decent 6-7 game win streak... we need it.

    THree games before the ASB. Before last night I thought we were onto something. Now I desperately want two wins heading into the break. Then a rest, clear our heads, and come back near .500. It's go-time, y'all.
