Good win for the Hounds 66-59, we led by as many as 13 and the lead stayed between 6 and 11 for most for most of the 2nd half. Cormier with a big game with 22 pts. he has really improved over last year and become much more consistent and aggressive. Etherly and Walker also had solid games. Always nice to beat Siena and always good to get a road win. Now 6-1 and 2-0 in MAAC. The next 5 games all on the road are huge if we can at least go 2-3 I'll be okay.

was impressed with how many turnovers we created and how we don't seem to making as many as years past

cautiously optimistic about this year's team. It will be interesting to see how we respond after a loss (I know we had the one Wake loss but I mean whenever we do finally lose that one game that we probably should win)
Cormier continues to prove how good he actually is, Walker is annoying me less this year than in year's past, and Etherly is actually finishing his dunks and is probably the only big man on our team with a post move that doesn't always end with a fade away (although it still does sometimes, I thought Omari Israel was going to teach our big men to play big?)
Tough, tough stretch coming up.. mostly b/c it's all away. If we win at the Mount (a team/place we love to lose at lately) I'll buy in a little more to this team... also curious to see how we do against a not so strong GW team tomorrow night

I think we can beat GW and St. Bonaventure but wouldn't be surprised to see us drop them either, since they're on the road. A split would be nice.
If we lose to Mt. St. Mary's it will effectively undo all of my optimism. They are awful this year....1-6, with their only win against 0-8 Hartford. They lost to Siena by 12. We should win that game by 20 but I'll settle for 10, taking into consideration the rivalry and the typical atmosphere at those games.

GW is not altogether there yet, watched VCU game, they are more athletic than Loyola and a bit bigger on a whole, they turn it over alot, since it is at there place i would give nod to GW, Mount is terrible, St Bon and Bucknell are beatable if we play well, will split these two,
