had not botched the end of the game with Nova. It certainly doesn't really matter but I would venture to bet that we currently would be  ranked had we won that game. If "ifs" and "buts" were beers and nuts we'd be having one hell of a party. But alas, we did not win the Nova game even though it was like a frosty PBR in our hand ripe for popping open and quaffing down in salute to victory!

I bring this up because the margin for victory is so often razor thin. We think in terms which are often so absolute when evaluating the strength and outlook for our team when in reality so many of the games come down to whether the team can make what is sometimes a single play, rebound, or foul shot. One thing which I have come to believe can be said about our current team is they have a strong will to win and are selfless in their efforts to enable the team to win. In fact several players are selfless to a fault in deferring their opportunities to shoot. I am totally fine with Tyler putting up more shots. He starts make a few of those mid range jumpers and it begins to change the entire complexion of our offense and the manner in which it needs to be defended.

I'm enjoying each game in spite of needing a defibrillator pretty much during each second half. Watching Rak is a particularly rewarding thing as it's wonderful to see a 4 year guy having blossomed into one of the best players in the Nation. This team provides plenty to be excited about if you are willing to place your emphasis on it's good points rather than it's deficiencies.

I'm looking forward to winning tomorrow night!!!~  LGO!!!
