3/17: We’re #1 in the West. I actually thought we might be #1 overall but this is fine. Our 1st round opponent is #16 seed New Hampshire, 14-19. They got hot and shocked everyone in their conference tournament.
Turn is back, which helps us inside. This is a team we should beat easily.
3/17: Big early lead. They close the gap. Up only 2 after 10 and I am steaming! A big run puts us up 55-31 at the half. 3 fouls for Hart. Balanced scoring, but poor three point shooting, 6-24. They shot
28%, so good D. Good inside play.
“Okay, good half but you’re going to have to start stringer when we get to the really good teams. Keep doing what you did for the last 10 minutes!”
We’re holding the lead. Up 27 with 10 left. Subs in early.
100-63. A real laugher. 18, 4 for Kitt, 20 for Hart, 12, 3, 6 for Ture. Great D, 29.6%. We dominated inside.
It’s #9 seed Texas, 21-13, in the 2nd round. They can score and they dish it well. Better outside than in. Their SF is very good.
3/19: Early lead. Up 13 after 10. 49-32 at the half. 22 for Toma with 6 threes. Solid D.
“Happy to see the fast start! Keep it up!”
Up 30 with 10 to go. This is a wrap. Subs will be in early.
102-65. We looked really good tonight! 30, 2, 3, 3, 3 for Toma with 8 threes. 16, 7, 5 for Lear, 11, 2, 7 for Ture. Kjel had 8 in 7 minutes. Our guards were unstoppable. 22 threes. We were good inside as well.
On to the Sweet Sixteen where we play #4 seed, #11 ranked Vanderbilt, 27-9. They can play! They have a very good PG and a solid outside game. We think we’re better inside and we’ll face anybody outside.
