We nearly upset Baylor in the gauntlet, but can't quite get it done. On the positive side, we land a second commit:

Code:

We spend all our energy coming back to tie Fairleigh-Dickinson and collapse in the last minute. But then a wild second half sees Gary Hine explode for 28 points and 2 steals in 18 minutes to lead a thrilling 86-82 win over Towson. Second is Rainier Roussel with 18 points and a block[/b]. Heath Wagstaff scores 12, and Maxwell Malyon adds 14 by living at the charity stripe.

Our first home game of the season is an asskicking at Air Force's hands, and we drop a 3 point heartbreak to Troy next. Ugly 38-45 loss to Iona and I'm wondering if I scheduled too aggressively. Or maybe we just suck - bullshit buzzer-beater loss to the Matadors to lose to CSU-Northridge for the first time in Portland.

We're just that bad. Our losing streak continues the next two games.

Silver lining? We grab the best international center.

I'm excited to see this kid play - especially once he develops.
