Good to come away with the win. Better effort on the boards helped out.

A win on the road is especially nice!

We shot the basketball well (55% from the field) and had a solid Assist-to-Turnover ratio (16 to 8).

[Rogobob77]

Vegas line is “even” for Saturday’s rematch. Let’s sweep!

[The-Dude]

Great effort today with the sweep. Mad props to D Rose Jr. for nailing the late free throws to ice the game.

[Dick Vitale]

Good to come away with another win. Seemed like they had a lot going against them all game but delivered in the end.

The big test will be Cleveland state if we have a good shot at winning the HLT. These other teams on the schedule we should have no problem as long as we keep up on are intensity on defense. Nice to see a win without using Noah. Also like how are guys played without Twon in the first half for a short amount of time.

Going by the computer numbers, we are closing in on CSU. They also confirm that at least on paper, the Titans should be favored in the home series matches against RMU and PFW.

Refs were terribly inconsistent. Friday they let the teams play. Saturday, not so much. Lots of ticky-tack.

[titanmac]

refs in our league have been horrible for years

Why didn't Noah play? Hurt / Sick?

[Rogobob77]

Why didn't Noah play? Hurt / Sick?

Sprained ankle in first half of Friday’s game. Probably could have played on Saturday but it was still bothering Waterman so Coach decided to rest him.

[EarlTheTwirl]

Rogo: any idea why Koka hasn’t played lately? Injured?
