We had a pretty good week last week getting our first two wins of the year. We played hard in our opener with Presbyterian but we were a little anxious and didn't play as smart as we would have wanted to. A positive was that our defense was great. We were a little stagnant on offense and only scored 80 points.

Our second game was a lot better. We beat Georgia Southern in Cameron to advance to the semifinals of the 2K Sports Classic in New York. The crowd was great throughout the game. We really got after it on defense and got alot of our points off of turnovers. We played really well together and had a lot of connecting plays. That was a great feeling so early in the season. We needed to win that game to move on and play in New York. We're looking forward to playing there next week against Southern Illinois in the semifinals.

Before we even start thinking about New York, we play a tough Rhode Island team at home on Sunday. We are preparing for them with hard practices and we know that they are a really good team. Though we are going to New York next week and playing in an exiting atmosphere at the Garden, we can't overlook Rhode Island. It is important for us to win every game we play and keep getting better.

I'll check back in with everyone next week.
