Wow.

I'm loving this week. Go Flashes!

That's a really solid Wright St team. Huge road win. Really shot ourselves in the foot a lot but overcame it. Haven't seen the stats yet but it felt like Simons had 100 rebounds.

It’s been good although it would have been better if I didn’t go to the wrestling meet today.

Great to see A. Williams back to his old self after struggling at Towson. Dominant performance. Can't say enough about Simons, Pippen and Whittington. Shut down the Raider inside game in the second half. And three 3's from the same corner to end the scoring. Again, wow. Too many unforced turnovers, too many missed front ends down the stretch, but totally clutch finish.

Okay, my cardiologist just recommended that I give up KSU sports for the second time this week. This was a great week for us Flashes. I had made many mental notes during the first half as a critique that I would reduce to writing. Skip that. I am going to enjoy this team this season. I do not know how Rob keeps his composure during these games. Congratulations coaches and players.

I think it’s because of all the experience we have in these tight games!

Wright St. coach Nagy said KSU is probably the best team they will face all season.

They beat Miami in Oxford last Saturday.

The Flashes moved into the Mid-Major Top 25 this week at #22. Wright St. dropped from #10 to #17. BG moved up to #8 from #9 and Toledo moved to #18 from #23. Buffalo is a couple fo spots outside the top 25.

This and $5 probably won't buy you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

I understand how that poll defines "mid-major", but I have a hard time accepting a few of the top 25 teams as mid-major, especially Gonzaga.

Agree about the $5. Mid-Major poll , totally irrelevant since the Bracket Buster ended. Then it had some meaning. Miss the Bracket Buster , it was a good opportunity for visibility
