Its all about the mindset, he finally has his players playing what he wants. They all buy into it. The team this year has great chemistry, unlike previous seasons.

That's why that as much talent as Nader had, it didn't matter because he wasn't buying in to what MM was coaching, the team concept.

And by the way, I love the Armsteads. They do not play like true freshman.

Only one of them is a freshman, the other is a junior.

It's always nice to see Balls jumping up and down in the locker room.

Well that one plays like a senior!

I am not gonna break bad on Nadar. We were not in the lockerroom or had met with MM. He had little talent around him so he WAS the offense.

What I like about his years team is we have quality players and depth. Every game there seems to be a different person leading the team in scoring. Threloff, Baker, Bowie, Armstead, Bolin etc.

I prefer "Balls bouncing" to jumping. If my balls jumped, I'd be concerned. Bouncing is dangerous enough.

As happy as I am about the Toledo win....don't forget NIU lost to CMU, literally, 3 days before. I'm not saying don't be excited, far from it. Just that there's still progress to be had.

But it's great to see obvious reasons for encouragement rather than sending a search team to find any positives.

Coach dancing is always entertaining.

I also love the idea that anytime Bolin is really excited he just grabs his Norwegian flag and jumps around.

I was like "where they hell did that flag come from?"

It was great to see the players reaction to the fans storming the court. They have been through so much losing and to see them enjoy success now is great.
Before the game, Coach Borowski pleaded with the fans to bring more friends and get more people to come out. He said the crowd was loud for the EMU game, but was disappointed only 850 were in attendence. This team deserves so much more.
I drive 50 miles each way to make it to games and cannot understand why more people dont come out. The entertainment and watching this team play as hard as they do is worth the gas money and time. Its getting better, but now is the time to get out and cheer this team on.

Weeknights are tough. People work and have obligations at home. And they gotta do it again the next day. That's why weekend games are better attended.

As long as he doesn't wear it like a cape......

Make sure you buy a Croatian flag and not a Serbian flag.

NOW you got my juices flowing! I work with an unbelievably gorgeous girl who is Serbian. She is the hottest looker on the planet and the sole reason I cannot get any work done. Fortunately for me, she has taken a liking towards me and is in my office a lot. I would not mind seeing her draped in (just) a Serbian flag - or any flag as long as it's thin enough.
