[Eaglesfan27]

We are on the road, and it's been tougher than expected. We are up 21-18 with a little over 10 minutes to go.


We are leading 30-24 with 4 minutes to go.


We are up 39-28 at the half. We are killing them at the line where we are 14 of 17. Waters is driving into the lane at will and creating fouls (for himself and others as they try to rotate to cover.)


Waters is the player of the half with 8 points, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 1 turnover.


61-51 lead with 11 minutes to go. Hannan has been dominating from the inside the last 5 minutes.


Up 71-61 with 5 minutes to go as our starters return to finish this out.


We finish off very strong. 86-66 win.


Hannan is the player of the game with 26 points, 4 boards, 2 assists, and 1 steal. He shot 8 of 13, 1 of 4, and 9 of 12.

Waters with 13 points, 4 assists, and a steal. He was 9 of 14 from the FT line.

Graves with 11 points and 3 assists. He was 3 of 8, 0 of 1, and 5 of 6.

Cornette with 4 points, 8 boards, and a block.

Simon with 15 points, 15 boards, an assist, and a block.


Cox with 6 points led the bench.


Our next game is at Loyola. They are 12-11 (7-6) and are an 81 in overall talent. I probably won't play that until next weekend, and if I fall in love with NCAA Football 09, it might be 2 weeks.


Before I end for today, a quick look at the seniors on our team and how they are doing in the last year of their storied careers:

Simon: 7.9 ppg (2nd highest total) and 7.9 rpg (lowest total) with 1.5 apg and 1.0 bpg.

Collins: 6.7 ppg (career high), 1.8 rpg, and 0.8 spg (career high.)

Graves: 16.1 ppg (career high by over a point), 2.1 rpg, 3.2 apg (career high), and 1.5 spg.

Ortiz: 4.9 ppg, 1.2 rpg, 0.2 apg, and 0.6 spg.



We will be losing a lot of scoring next year. None of them are projected to be drafted at this point.
