Halftime

Wilted a bit at the end of the stanza....hope we can regroup.

These quick starts and second half collapses suggest that maybe there is an endurance factor with only eight players.

Except that was a problem when almost everyone was healthy.

The last time we had injury problems like this, it was ugly.

We only won 22 games and wound up 5 seconds away from the NCAA tournament.

Point well taken. You know very well that my basketball knowledge is right on par with my interpersonal skills, so I was merely speculating. I take no sides in this coach vs players vs donors vs helmet stickers war.

Tony Mitchell just picked up his fourth foul. Watch the roof cave in.

I wasn't shooting at a target, I was swinging at a ball on a tee.

More posters!

TMitch needs to get "how to stay out of foul trouble" merit badge at his next summer camp.

Colman playing pretty well in Tony's absence.

Hey, who is the leading scorer? How are we doing in rebounds ? I'm at the game but don't know because the scoreboards aren't working.

Again.

I hope all the score boards are replaced in addition to a new sound system.

Franklin has 21 points now.

This should be in the bag. Glad to see the guys get a win.

Nice win. We really needed that. Hopefully the sign of better things to come.

Quality win! Kudos to coaches, players, and everyone involved. If we manage to get a string of wins together, I will gladly change my attitude.

It is amazing how much they don't work. They come on and appear to work, but nothing.

Good job players. My contacts at Denton PD tell me this group of ruffians haven't held up any hanks or kicked any puppies this week...so it's no surprise they were able to concentrate on basketball.

On paper we have a couple of games that are winnable next week. Given that they're both on the road, we'll be lucky to get a splt. But still the potential is there to get a 3 game win streak going.
