BMF,
Thanks for the game review. I had guests over but kept excusing myself and listening to parts of the game. I remember making the same comparison of Ross Ketchum and Patterson way back when he first came to POLY. It sounded like the guards (Allen) finally stepped up and contributed.

We will need more production from the guards in conference, otherwise they will just continue doubling down on Varnie and bank on us not being effective from the outside. I cannot seem to get into the foolerton site for some reason,
have they beat a Div 1 oppponent yet?

Go Mustangs.......
