First game is Wednesday March 9th. We're facing Florida State at 9:30pmEST. Game is on ESPN2 and/or regional channels on the ACC Network.

If we beat FSU, we'll face Miami on Thursday.


Obviously we have to win the ACC to make the Big Dance, but the NIT is still a possibility but that crowd is getting full with a lot of conference leaders losing in their tournaments so far.

Great win against FSU. Controlled the tip to the final buzzer. We shot well, got the line, and just all around played to our peak. We need a repeat of that against Miami.

Miami game is at 9pm on ESPN

Aaaaaaand we're out. 88-82 Miami win. Score makes it look closer than it was. Miami kept a 10 to 12 point lead most all game and we manage to battle back a few times but it was never really in doubt who would win. They did a good job putting the clamps on LeDay, Bibbs, and Robinson. None of them could get into a rhythm leaving just Allen to keep us within striking distance.

Oh well. Hell of a season.

Just felt like we couldn't play good enough defense to keep them in front of us. We also turned the ball over a lot. I thought our offense was actually ok

Woo! We made the NIT. We're in Region 1 as a 3 seed with 1 St. Bonny, 2 BYU, 4 Creighton, 5 Bama, 6 Princeton, 7 UAB, 8 Wagner.

We'll face Princeton this Wednesday at 8pmEST on ESPNU.

With the game being at Cassell, I really like our chances to move on.

Whew! crazy win! We couldn't score at all and Princeton came back from double digits, but we were able to win in OT Looks like @BYU is up next.

That came real close to a shameful loss. We kept a nice 7 to 10 point lead all game till midway through the 2nd half and it all came crashing down. Thank goodness we gutted out that victory the hard way because that would have been a bitter way to end the season.

Hopefully Bibbs and Robinson can find their scoring prowess because traveling across country to BYU short rest is going to be a very tough game.

80-77 loss to BYU. Hard fought game. Some shitty officiating in the 2nd half there played a role but that's not really the reason we lost. We made a couple of bad errors late and BYU was just a tough opponent at home.

Proud of the effort. One hell of a season all things considered.

Just think, next year we get everyone back except Shane Henry
