3/3: We play #9 seed UIC, 10-18, 5-13, in the quarters.
3/4: 91-86. We led all the way. They scored the last 5, and the win was never in danger, but they were tough. 22 each for starting guards Deni and Quin, 20 and 6 for PF Reg Raff. 11, 8, 6, 4, 2 for C Sean Gold. We didn’t rebound well.
#5 seed Oakland, 15-13, 9-9, in the semis. We beat them by 21 and by 20.
3/5: 70-68. Again, we led almost all the way, and a three at the buzzer by their SG made it a 2 point game. But again, they hung in all the way. 23 for Deni, and 7 others had between 4 and 9; a real team effort. Too many TOs, too many fouls, but we’ll play for the title.
#7 seed Wright ST, 14-16, 8-10, in the title game. We split the season games, and they are tougher than their record indicates.
3/6: 87-73. An easy one! 26, 5, 3, 3 for Deni, 27, 4 for PG Lee Quin, 12, 8 for Gold. The question is whether to move up to a more challenging conference next season.
26-4, 15-3. Ranked!!! #20. RPI #17.
3/12: #5 West. We play #12 UNLV, 20-11. Tough 1st round matchup.
3/17: 82-77. 17 lead changes, 9 ties. Down 7 at the half. 16, 10 for Gold. 13 each for Deni and Flik. We won it at the line. 8 TOs helped.
#4 seed, #16 ranked LSU, 24-8, in the 2nd round. They’re a good team, but we think we have a chance.
3/19: 63-84. We were overmatched. 27 for Deni.
3/28: Three Mile Island does what all nuclear plants will do sooner or later.
4/3: #2 UCLA wins it all.
4/4: Awards: Gilo Dani is Horizon Frosh OY and 1st team. Sean Gold makes 2nd team. I get Conf. COY.
4/23: We need money!!! We get $9,000. I’ll take it!
