Yep. Kind of torn about whether I'm disappointed they're not coming to Lincoln. Would be a chance at that signature victory. Or it wouldn't. They're pretty damn good — talented, deep and well coached. Or so I've heard.
Not gonna argue math with an actuary. But to clarify, are you saying that a 12-6 conference mark (which would get us to 21 wins BEFORE the conference tourney) is not going to be good enough unless we win one in the tournament? In short, does your 22-win projection include whatever happens in the tournament?
Pardon's signature move:
1. Throw left elbow while moving left foot.
2. Throw right elbow while moving right foot.
3. Toss up jump hook of left foot.
4. Shoot one or two free throws, depending on whether the shot rolled in.
I sat next to Papa Gordon tonight, and we both agree that it's the damn hippity-hop music that distracts the boys during warmups, throwing them off for the rest of the night. Oh, and the tattoos. Always the tattoos.
Lincoln 82
Deland 67
Five, count 'em, five, bench players score.
See you at the Vault. Making the trip from Iowa City!
This will be my second Stetson game, having seen the Hatters in person in Deland against Belmont in 2012-13.
At this point, the only game that seems like a sure L is at Purdue. Maybe at Ohio State.
The other 14? All winnable. Get 9 or 10 of those, finish 10-8 or 11-7, and we're in, baby.
