This would be a big pick-me-up if we can find a way to pull it out. Not sure I see it though.
Cremo's hit a bit of a lull, scoring eight points apiece in their last two games – an 11-point loss at Vermont and incredible 44-point win over UMBC upstate. Nobody's worried about him or the team though. To have three guys up near 15 points a night is such a luxury. If Akwasi has an off night or gets into foul trouble, we don't really have a plan B, do we?
In our last meeting, UA did everything that they usually do to us ... clamp down on defense, control the glass, take and make free throws.
We need the community and we need the students. Big Saturday night game.
I think we learn a lot about our guys tomorrow. Are they down and out like a lot of us? Or can they rise to the occasion in front of what we hope is a formidable crowd at IFCU?
