A lot of credit goes to HCJH. Before the last UAB time out, he had Frazier in bounding. He called he TO and had Swing in bound.

The play wasn't as open as I had thought.

With the 3 players surrounding him on the drive, Frazier did wonders.

Good chess match at the end of the game with Coach Haase coming out on top. Great to get 3 straight road wins.

Should not have been that close, but again UAB finds a way to win. I like the attitude we're playing with heading towards the conference tournament. I think our guys are starting to realize that even in close games, they have the experience and ability to close out the close ones.

We've lost (and won) a lot of close games this year. Wonder what the overall margin is in our games when combined.

+3.8 (scoring margin average)

You have to be the ultimate optimist Blazer Basketball fan.

At the end of the day, it's still young men playing a game. I'm very proud of them regardless of the final record. I've had a blast watching every game. We are very fortunate to have the this staff.

I don't know that I'm that optimistic. Our record is 18-10 with some wins against really good teams and some losses to some really bad teams. We are inconsistent. But based on the recent string of wins and the way they are grinding games out, I feel like they are figuring out the emotional side of things.

I can't wait til next year. We will be young, but if CJ and Frazier are still here, I feel like they will be the kind of veteran leaders that will be needed to give some calm and confidence to our very talented, but inexperienced newcomers.

Barring some crazy run for us in the NCAA's and Chad going off, I can't think of any scenario where they wouldn't be coming back.

The guy on the baseline playing defense like a matador didn't hurt either. Ole'!
