We're turning into a solid team. We're winning the games we would have lost last year. And some of the players have made big improvements. Last year and this year Blair has averaged 23 minutes per game. Last year he was pulling down 3.3 rebounds per game, this year 6.2. Last year Josh was shooting at a .465%, this year at .549. Last year Jaden was shooting .292% overall and .167% from beyond the three point line. This year he's shooting .447% and 333% thus far.

The best indication that we are getting better is that wins have become so routine, no one bothers to post about them until the day after!

Avery Brown can take over games, and that is what he did at crunch time. Love his game this year.

I was going to say 7-8 until I saw that Dartmouth easily handled UNH. Perhaps the UNH game was just an off night.

5-6
Kenpom says 5, but I'll give us one more upset for late in the season improvement.
We won't make the Ivy Tournament until next season.

5 or 6 is my expectation too. I hope to be pleasantly surprised with 7-7 or better.

It would be great to see the Lions in the tournament as the host school. I think the league will be a real street fight with all 8 schools in the race. Can't wait for the proceedings to get underway.

Against smaller teams we should do well. My concern is how we will match up against teams with big front courts.
