Leatherneck Nation

I wish I could be tagging along for this road trip - one which we will for sure find out if we have the special recipe and the ingredients to compete next week in the tournament. Coming away with a win or two this week would be icing on the cake. But just battling tooth and nail down to the wire even in a losing effort would be absolute gravy. I am a meat and potatoes kind of guy so I like my gravy. This will be the ultimate season test - Frost is by far the toughest home crowd in the Summit League and the Jack fans are gender-neutral when it comes to basketball support. Best way to keep those rabid rabbit fans silent is to keep hitting shots.
