2/5: At 14-7, 7-3 NJIT. They beat us by 1 at our place in a game that still makes me shake my head. Their starting PG is out with a fractured ankle. Their backup isn't very good, although he's playing SG and the starting Sg is now at PG. They're still picked to win.
Ruf Long is bitching again. I'm trying to talk him into staying but he might transfer out. He hasn't lived up to his potential but he's still one of my best players. I wouldn't like to lose him.
2/6: They take a quick lead. Up 1 after 10; Hays is beating up on the fill in. Up 4 at the half. 9 each for Meek and Hays. -7 RBs, +6 in the paint, so that's a wash. 1 TO to 8. Taking more shots and making 2 more. This one is up for grabs. Up 7 with 10 left to play.
73-67 and payback for the loss at our place. 15, 8, 5 blocks for Meek, 16, 5, 3, 5 steals for Hays. -8 RBs Only 2 TOs! +18 in the paint. We took 16 more shots.
The Lady Cats are now 22-2, ranked #5.
"I really want that #1 seed!"
"Keep winning."
"Working on it."
"So... been on any hikes lately?"
"How did you know!"
"You were seen entering the trail."
"So now you have spies!"
"Slow down, Dee. No. I was chatting with someone in the cafeteria and they mentioned that the Vermont 'girls' coach'- I always cringe at that- must be back to hiking."
"Oh... Yeah, but I took it easy."
"No point mentioning the danger or reminding you about that fracture, I suppose."
"That was just an accident. It won't happen again."
"Not my job to tell you what to do."
"Thank you!"
This relationship thing is mostly really good but I don't like that i worry about her a lot. Of course she lives way out on the edge...
