Leatherneck Nation

It would be easy to overlook this makeup game tonight - lets not do that.  Keep the mojo flowing.
Best case scenario is we get up on them early and blow them out giving the bench players some time to shine. Massner looked a little beat up in the last game but still had enough left to come through in the clutch. Time for someone else to excel in that PG role for a game or even a couple - penetrate the paint with authority and dish out those dimes. A sweep this week would be huge for confidence building heading into February.

The F'Hawks not playing like a cellar dweller last week or so. 
They played ORU tough in 1st half as well.
We going to have to adjust in 2nd half.
Hopefully we watched the ORU adjustments and do what they did. 
 
 

A number of unforced errors have hurt.  Just not in sync at times, maybe hurrying things a bit and you got to make free throws.  I have walked off the floor at half to chat with my team in a game against an opponent we should beat.  Deep breath!  Just play your ass off and let the chips fall!

Did you make a guest appearance in locker room at halftime?  We a different team early in 2nd half.

Massner is in the zone tonight. Reminds of a dude named Dykstra.  
BTW, I was looking up where Joe Dykstra is these day.  Done very well in the financial commercial real estate world.
 

Wow, just wow is all you can say.

When your hot, your hot!!!!!  Wow for sure.  jc

Somebody will have fun putting the video together of all the shots dropping. 
Many of his shots were very tough fadeaways from deep.
Watching Lamar watch them drop in from the bench is also fun.  
 
 
 

Fun and awesome to watch online. Curious if those in attendance were aware about the record.
