Hasn't been pretty getting there, but we are 5-4 in conference, nonetheless

I have video of the winning shot...if only I knew how to post it?

Edit: Sent it to Harry.

Ice veins shot from Draper for the win! Awesome.

Ugly win beats a pretty loss!

And scrambling for the ball, no less!  Awesome.  And thanks for the video Rick.

Was scared we were once again not even going to get a shot off in a clutch scenario. We did and Draper made it count

first game in 2 years tonight... team won...didn't look too great down the stretch, but they found a way...a few observations...

 

grant always calls the players by their first name when coming off the bench

whole team stands and gives a high five/low five to players coming off the court

whole team counts down clock when under 10

grant never looked confused or clueless

 

i like this guy and the team is doing well...will certainly be back next saturday for the game against rice

[GrandGreen]

Not a well played game by any means, but a victory and that is what counts.  I don't think I have seen a NT team with this many close games;.  

Horrible executed plays at the end of game and ot.   Woolridge and Draper were the heroes, but again a maximum effort from most.  This team is so short handed, but still has been in nearly every game.

I know Benford did not set the bar high but I think Grant might lead to this team to its best record in the last five years.  Benford best conference win record was eight wins.  I think this teams beats that number this year and the team will beat Benford's best season wins  over the last five years.  

Grant took over a team that did not make the conference tournament last year.  He had very few hold overs from last years team.  What gets me really excited it is how young we are.  

We do need to get someone who can relieve Ryan on the court once in a while.  We put a lot of pressure on him and depend on him at the end of the games.  The guy never comes off the court.  He does get a little sloppy at the end of the games sometimes but I think it has more to do with fatigue then talent.  He is a great player to have on the team he just needs a little help to let him rest once in a while.  I dont think he has missed a minute on the court this year.  

FIU leads the league in steals but we made a lot of lazy passes last night.  I am excited for the team, the coach and the fans.  Nice to hear the crowd get into the games again.

This team never quits.  Thank you to Wren for getting us a real basketball coach!

Anyone else having issues with cusa tv?

A more appropriate question would be who isn't having issues with CUSAtv.

I did notice that he came off the court for a bit and Draper ran the offense. Not sure that is the plan in every game, but I did notice that it was something that was a bit new.

[southsideguy]

I must of missed it but it is good at least he getting some rest.
