Nice, 3-0.

A little close last night, but at least we pulled it out. I wonder if it's concerning that we gave up 87 points to a team that UP held to 53. Either they were very cold the other night, or we're letting guys get good looks at the basket. Perhaps a combination of the two.

Wiggins was fantastic last night.

Hey what was the deal with that technical called on Tucker on that dunk? Was that for hanging on the rim? If so, that was a terrible call.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. You have to figure that they were tired from the long flight for the Portland game. But you're right, they were allowed to shoot 3s from the corner regularly - through the entire game. Our defense needs to tighten up.

Hey! A mini-run, 4-0! We won. I would have said handily, since we were up around 20 for half the game. But they came perilously close to running us down at the end. Bamba lead the scoring. Tim Douglas wasn't on tonight but Gary was. Spickerman seems to have his fouls under control now. And where was Tucker?! Is he hurt?

Tucker out with thigh contusion... not sure when back, but some depth evident in tonight's win. What a great start. Hoping the zeroes are punches from too much turkey!
