To tide you over, I wanted to bring you the long-overdue results of our last Poll of the Week. During the first week of our Patriot League schedule, we asked, "What will our Patriot League record be?" You said:
| 14-0 | 8 (10%) |
| 13-1 | 7 (9%) |
| 12-2 | 24 (32%) |
| 11-3 | 18 (24%) |
| 10-4 | 13 (17%) |
| Uh oh | 4 (5%) |
Unfortunately, the approximately 19% of us who were the most optimistic (including myself), are out of luck, as its no longer possible for us to finish any better than 12-2. I have confidence that this is still a possibility (and if we want to go Dancing, it more or less has to happen), so the remaining 81% of us still have a chance of being correct (fingers crossed it's that 24% that said 12-2). As for the 5% that said "Uh oh", well, I think we're on track to avoid that fate, even if no one saw Navy's massacre coming.
This time, we're looking inward a bit, and asking what you'd like to see more of on AUHoops. You can select multiple answers, and in fact this is pretty critical as there are lots of aspects to the blog. This should help us make the most of this bye week and ensure the rest of the season goes the best it possibly can (outside of the hardwood, of course).
So that's that. Check back soon for the Lafayette recap.
GO EAGLES,
Josh
i thoroughly enjoy the blog and the comments and appreciate your witty comments and themes. I have been disappointed the last couple weeks in your lack of a blog post soon after the Navy debacle and expected a post on Sunday after the nice Phil Bender victory. I know you have a life other than blogging but i would think that prompt posting will generate the most comments- and isn't that why you go to the effort to blog?
ReplyDeleteOther than that can someone explain why JJ did not call for fouls with AU holding 4 team fouls with seconds remaining in the first half ? Lafayette hits a big 3 at the buzzer which i thought might come back to bite us.
I can see that strategy at the end of a game, but I am not sure I have ever seen it at the end of the half, for the obvious reason of accumulating fouls on a player.
