This is a really important win, especially considering how we got it. As the self-proclaimed president of the Jasonn Hannibal Fan Club, I'm having a particularly enjoyable morning. Very Happy

I absolutely LOVE how dominant we've become at home. But the real test of maturity for this team will be how they play on the road. The Montana game on Friday is key. It's a quality mid-major opponent - they held Idaho to 33 points on 12 percent shooting (6-50) - in a hostile gym.

The students are making some progress. At least there are some butts in the seats. The problems is that they never get off their butts and cheer. Beating a Dead Horse

I have come up with an idea though. DTR, R54, and Stoney need to put together a cheesy 80's style PSA to educate the students on the proper way to root for the Pilots. We can play it during games on the new scoreboard. Very Happy

I loved the student section when those guys were in school. Party!!!

Oh, the things I've said to the other team when I was sitting courtside. If I didn't get the death stare from Dr. C at least once a season I figured I wasn't doing my job well enough. geek

I'm getting old, and the new section is too far from the court for the other team to hear me. It's time for the youngsters to step up.

Can someone explain why the box score is set up with Min played at the end and points buried in inside the box, why isn't it done the traditional way? Just seems odd

just to piss you off.

Also, what happened to the Tanner Riley we saw in the AIA tourney? He has disappeared since then.

Yeah, I think Tanner Riley is bound to have some times when he excels and others when he plays like a freshman. Rev might have got slightly frustrated with his foul on their guy who was behind the three point stripe to end the first half. It wasn't his smartest play as a Pilot so far. We've got such a deep team now that it's hard to get everyone minutes, especially when other shooters like Mitrovic are stroking it...

As far as Riley Barker goes, it's tough for him to get as many minutes if Hannibal is having one of his best games of the year...

Freshman, Bob Knight, a good coach but a Prick of a abrasive jerk, hardly ever relied on freshman. Even in this day and age of Kevin Loves, John Walls, Derrick Roses they are an exception to the rule.....This just shows the growth in the program from 4 yrs ago when three freshman let us enjoy a 9-22 record...I'll stick with the seniors their much more consisitant, wiley, experienced, Just look at even JASONN last game...

I was glad to see our bigs step up and dominate when a team decided to defend the perimeter. It's real nice to have options. I'm also thankful St. Louis was so bad from the free throw line or the game would have been a real nail biter at the end.
