As expected, we come out strong against Lehigh. Graves has 12 of our first 19 points. We are up 19-8 at the 10 minute mark.

With 3 minutes to go, we get our starters back into the game. We are up 30-12.


At the half, we lead 35-17. Graves is the player of the half with 14 points and a board.

I was blowing thm out, but a 12-0 run gets them back into it. I rest my starters with 9:54 to go. We are up 50-37.

My bench is getting tired and they are letting the gap close quickly again. With 2:59 to go, I put back in the starters. Up 62-48.


We win the game 70-49.

Graves is the player of the game with 23 points, 1 board, and 1 steal. He shot 10 of 17, 3 of 5, and 0 of 0.

Bitee with 4 points and 2 assists.

Bowers had 12 points, 1 board, 1 assist, and 1 steal.

Clifford with 2 blocks in 15 minutes.


Our next game is at Quinnipiac who are rated 58 in overall talent! Sheesh, the AD gave us an easy schedule to start.


I decide to go ahead and sim that as it should be a blowout:


It's closer than expected, but we win 85-67.

Hannan was the player of the game with 29 points, 3 boards, 2 assists, and 2 steals. He shot 12 of 20, 2 of 4, and 3 of 4.

Wayers with 9 points, 7 assists, and 2 steals.

Graves with 3 points, 3 boards, 7 assists, and 2 blocks.

Cornette with 11 points, 5 bords, and a block.

Simon fouled out in 20 minutes. He had 5 points, 2 boards, and a block.



Clifford hurt his knee in the game. He'll be hurt for about a week, but will be able to play through it.

5 bench players with 5 points each.


Our next opponent is much better. We'll play Central Michigan. They are 1-4 with an overall talent rating of 75. I'll play that later today.



The new coaching staff seems to be producing quicker results in training. The following players have gone up a point of overall rating:

Graves (81), Hannan (77), Simon (75), Ortiz (74), Willis (72), Clifford (71), Bowers (70), and Ziri (69).

We are currently leding all schools in the pursuit of SR 4 star PG Israel Simmons from NYC. Duke and Maryland are our closest competitors, but they are being slow in pursuing him and haven't offered an early scholarship. He is rated 37th overall in the country and would be a huge coup if we can get him to sign early, but that looks like a long shot.

We are 2nd behind BC and Pitt on our other 4 star players that we are pursuing.
