Dec. 2012 Recruiting

Mark Reichert (#88) signed with us, and I've picked up my first 4 star recruit. As expected, Luigi Dean shunned us and went with Dayton. However, Julius Douglas, another 4 star recruit, now has very high interest in us and has us #1 on his list. We are going all out for him.

Dec. 2012 Games

12/1 - beat Kent St. 90-63 (2-2) -- A big win against what was expected to be a contender in the MAC. Richard Slaughter led us with 27 points and David Santiago added 19. We shot almost 60% from the field and held them to 39%.

12/3- lost to Missouri St. 93-83 (2-3) -- Just can't seem to put a winning streak together, but at least we are playing quality opponents. Had 4 guys in double figures, but letting them shoot 60% from the field killed us.

12/7- lost to #23 Kansas 101-88 (2-4) -- It's gonna be a long season if we don't learn how to play some defense. 55.2% shooting for the Jayhawks along with being outrebounded 45-30 makes for a tough way to win. A nice game off the bench for Eldon Gordy who ended up with 17 points.

12/9- beat Washington 76-69 (3-4) -- A much better performance tonight, as we locked down defensively, forced 18 turnovers, and never let the Huskies get into a rhythm. Jimmie Thorton was a beast on the boards, collecting 16 and put in 14 points to go with it.

12/12- lost to Siena 61-28 (3-5) -- The only way to explain this game is we came in overconfident and got our butts whipped. It was 15-1 before we knew what was going on. We got it to 22-15 at halftime. Then we just imploded, being outscored 39-13 in the second half. Just a terrible game.

12/14- lost to Oklahoma 86-78 (3-6) -- We had no answer for their SG who lit us up for 37 points. Take away even half his points and we win the game, but once again we fail defensively. 2 games in a row where we missed our chance. Could be a long season.

12/17- beat Georgia St. 71-37 (4-6) -- We needed this win in the worst way. We forced 19 turnovers while committing just 7, and held them to 30.2% shooting. Joseph Weeks had 11 points and 15 boards to lead us.

12/20- lost to Wichita North 77-50 (4-7, 0-1) -- Our conference debut didn't go as planned, as we trailed by 21 at halftime and were completely befuddled. This time we were outrebounded 45-30. Our leading scorer was Richard Slaughter with a measly 11 points.

12/22- beat Wichita Heights 73-51 (5-7, 1-1) -- I certainly like it a lot better when we play good offensively and defensively. The difference tonight was (as it usually is) field goal shooting. We shot 51% and held them to 34.5%. Our leading scorer tonight was Lenard Murphey with 16.

12/25- beat Detroit 83-66 (6-7) -- A brilliant Christmas present tonight as we went OOC to host Detroit and came away with a nice 17 point win. Richard Slaughter had a balanced game with 24 points, 6 boards, and 5 assists.

12/29 beat Wichita South 60-50 (7-7, 2-1) -- Wow how about that? A 3 game winning streak. South is probably the worst team overall in the GWAL this season, so beating them isn't a huge accomplishment, but I'm just glad we didn't overlook them like we did Siena.
