    Well it wasn’t a perfect season but it looks like we did the bare minimum to both make the tourney and to avoid the play in. Time to take this last opportunity and do something special with it.

    They don’t have anyone to stop Hunter. I believe they usually play their burley 6’8” PF at center.

    You couldn’t have asked for a better draw for us. We will probably be Vegas favorites playing in Indy.
