2/22: Early lead. They catch up. Down 3 after 10. 42-45 at the half. Lousy D, they’re shooting 60.9%. 3 fouls for Cage. 14, 6 for Grah, 12 for Mels.
Back and forth. Up 3 with 10 to play.
85-88. Another loss to a team we should have beat. Not good!
25, 8 for Grah, 18, 4, 0, 3 for Mels, 13, 10 for Will. But very poor D, 58%, and -7 at the line. Only +16 inside.
Jem Hatt has a severe back injury. Out about a month. So two starters out for at least one game.
At 20-6, 13-4, 1st place Cincinnati. We won by 32 at our place but we were healthy then. This is the battle for 1st place but we could drop into a 3 way tie for 3rd if we lose.
2/24: Close early. Then they go on a run. Down 7 after 10.
46-47 at halftime. 12, 4 for Will. Good inside play. Both teams are shooting 59%. They have 6 threes.
Staying close early. A run puts us up by 15 with 10 to go.
91-82. Great win with 2 starters out! 30, 8 for Will, 15, 9, 2, 3 for Grah, 13, 8 for Loft playing hurt. He’ll be back for our next game.
Tied for 1st. Wichita ST is one back, Tulsa and Memphis are 2 back.
19-8, 11-6 Memphis is here. They won by 16 at their place.
3/1: Back and forth early. Up 4 after 10. A run! 53-41. 17, 4 for Loft, 11, 6 for Will, 8, 7 for Mels. 3 starters with 3 fouls each. They have 2. 33 fouls called in 20 minutes; insane!
Up 19 with 10 to play.
91-74. 21, 7 for Loft, 17, 11, 3 for Will, 11, 8, 4 for Mels, 10, 3, 5 for Keet. +36 in the lane.
One game left to play in the regular season. 12-16, 6-13 Tulane is here. We won by only 7 there.
3/3: We score the first 10. Up 18 after 10. 54-15 at the half. We held them to 15! They shot 19%, 1-10 on threes. 10, 6 for Cage, 10, 5 for Loft. 3 fouls for Grah.
Up 34 with 10 left. Running away with it.
92-58. 22, 9, 4 for Mels, 18, 10 for Cage, 12, 8, 3 for Will. 74 in the paint.
Loft hurt his wrist but he won’t miss any games. Hatt will miss the conference tourney and at least the first 2 games of the big dance.
We end the regular season tied for first with Cincy. We get the #1 seed.
22-9, 15-5, #17, NET #15.
Rod Loft declares for the NBA draft. Not a shock.
#1 in PPG, +13.6. #2 in shooting pct, 53.6%. +9.1 RBs. -5 TOs, 10.8.
Mels leads us in scoring with 15.5, 5.2 RBs. Hatt gets 14.6, 4.6. 13.2, 5.4 for Grah, 11.9, 5.5 for Loft, 9.6, 5.5 for Will. Toxy leads in assists with 6.2.
