Don't let the final score fool you... they slacked off late to let us get halfass close.
Our third injury of the year sees Delmer Toole out 21 days, meaning we have no worthy backup behind our French frosh.

They're still pissed about the 1 point loss on their turf earlier in the year, and the Rattlers are ready to come out striking.
At first, it's a close battle, but then we stretch out a 10 point lead that by half is cut to 33-27. We've had halftime advantages before and seen them blow up, so I'm not optimistic here.
They keep making charges, and we hit just enough of our shots that we're up by 4 with 1:19 left and have the ball. I put in my best free throw lineup.
Jeremie Agache sinks 2, and they travel on the other end after missing a shot and getting the offensive board.
Edmond Casey makes 1 of 2, but that puts us up by 7 and should seal the victory.

A lot of big time shots by
Scott Blank, and he's shown flashes throughout his first year of becoming a legitimate #1 scoring option.
We also sweep somebody for the first time in my career.
Big win that moves us out of last place (for the time being).
