Thought I'd liven up this board a bit by recapping the recent 5 game winning streak we've been on. Man did we earn every single one of them.
Wright State: Tough 3 point win at home. Survived a scare at the end when WSU hit a 3 at the buzzer which would have forced OT but after review it was deemed too late.
Green Bay: Phoenix shot the lights out at the start and took a 17 point lead but after they cooled off we cut the lead to 5 by halftime and then proceeded to go on a 28-0 run to start the 2nd half en route to a dominant victory.
Milwaukee: Arguably the most impressive win we've had since moving to the Horizon. Currently valued as a Q2 according to the NET. Dickerson with another one of his signature spikes to deny a would-be OT-forcer at the end.
YSU: Another great performance on the road, this one against our newfound rivals. Thought we were going to blow it at the end but Kam came up clutch with the coast-to-coast layup to pull out the W.
Oakland: Back at home, this one was close throughout. Luckily they bailed us out at the end with the foul. 5 wins in a row.
That puts us at 7-4 in the conference, currently in a tie for 4th. Obviously, no game can be overlooked, but it is encouraging that we still have 2 games against IUI, and home games against GB and UDM. Primary goal at this point should be a top 4 finish, which would guarantee us a bye and a home quarterfinal. This team has (finally) a roster that can compete with anyone in the HL and a coach who can put the pieces together. Let's hope we can keep this thing going through the last 9 games of the season and beyond.
