10-9, 4-5 Kent ST is here. Beat them by 2 at their place last week.
They’re good outside.

Hatt breaks his foot. Out for the season unless we go fairly deep in the NCAAs. He’s fragile, 3rd major injury this season. Grah will start at C.
We really don’t have the team for my system yet. I think we will next season with a great C coming in.
