I must admit tonights basketball game had my attention on the level of football

This was a huge win but i was never "football nervous". I think it's because we had nothing to lose. If we lost, we would've been in the position I'm used to us being in. And while it's a step up for Bball program we still have a long way to go.

I was watching and continue to be excited about the potential CBP represents for our program. I enjoyed attending games in school during the early 90's. I haven't watch many since mainly because so few make the TV in areas I have lived. Last night was a fun watch though. But not football intense.

I suspect we'll need to break even in conference to sniff the NIT. Still a lot of work and a long way to go.

I'll compare it to how I have felt the past several years watching Bball games...

I wasn't more or less excited as I was say, watching the AU-UF game in Florida last year when we led late.

The difference for me was I felt like we would blow it late in every game I've watched for years now when we were right there in it late against a better team.

Last night I felt like we would win at the end of regulation, the first OT, and the second. You can see in the game thread I never got pessimistic. It is my confidence in seeing Pearl on the sidelines. He knows what he is doing, is all over everything with a passion late in the game and the team was reflecting that intensity and effort. It just makes you feel like good things are about to happen. The past few years it has been a deer in headlights look every time a big game was tight late. Last night was the opposite. No deer, intensity, effort, and a lot of emotion was what our team was showing.

I like it. Finally feel good about where we are going in hoops.

I was flipping back n forth between the Yahoo Sports app and the game thread during my niece's Christmas recital. Hive fived the wife and sister-in-law when we won.

I was pissed after the first half because we played so terribly. It was awesome to see us get the win. I love college hoops.

Considering how many empty seats were in the arena, the crowd was really loud. You could tell it was affecting Xavier and their coach was doing his best to use timeouts to stall our momentum and crowd support.

I wish Barbee didn't kick Shaq Johnson off the team. Wish we had some player to give some monster dunks off the bench to get the crowd going and more interested

I got pretty excited at a few points during the game especially 2ot. It felt really good watching our basketball team get a big win last night. Between the energy and the direction given by CBP I see us going far sooner rather then later.

it was better for Auburn that he left. He was arrested again just about a month or two ago. Dude is full on stupid.
