They are definitely playing better basketball.  I ripped them earlier in the year but at that point there wasn't much to be positive about. 

Very glad to see a turnaround.  Don't think it's a coincidence this team started playing better once Bovell got the chance to start. 

In my post last evening I forgot to add another encouraging sign in Duquesne's improved offense.  For the first time in the last two years  (perhaps 3), I saw a concerted effort by just about every Dukes guard to pass the ball into the post.

I couldn't believe my eyes.  Players were tossing the ball over their defenders' heads, or in the case of Chas, throwing a bounce pass around their defender into Kadri-Ann or whoever else was in there.  

I don't know, after all this time, what suddenly changed, but it was a very encouraging sign.  If the pattern continues, it means teams will have a more difficult time double teaming the guards and making them run horizontally (which has been a problem in the past).  They'll have to respect the post (now getting more touches), thus freeing up the guards to become more efficient in their ball handling and shooting.

Peaking right at the end of February. I like it.

We are now guaranteed a top 6 spot, which means we avoid a team that rests on Tuesday until the Semifinals

Bazelak is cool as a cucumber. The podcast 3 Bid League for Men's A10 loves tracking triple nickels... Libby is a triple nickel machine

Nice to See Libby Appreciated -  Wayne Gretzky once said  "I go where the puck is GOING TO BE -  NOT WHERE IT HAS BEEN -  Libby seems to have "that knack"  -  How else to explain how many rebounds she gets (10 last night) and how many loose balls she seems to come up with!!
