Does anyone know what is up with David? I'm starting to get worried here.
You aren't alone. Everyone in my group of App alums and friends is very concerned. What's going on? Is David battling illness? Has he taken another job? He hasn't been on the air since the Monroe/Lafayette, LA road trip that ended on Sat., Jan 2. That's soon going to be three weeks.

Just learned that this Harrison Battle is an ASU student.

Harrison said at Mountaineer Talk a couple weeks ago that DJ would be back in a few weeks.

Ill gladly take my crow with franks hot sauce and pepper. We may very well be on an upswing. For how hard Fox coaches his butt off I had yet to see improvement, but back to back quality wins......my hats off sir, well done.

Good thing we were playing at home. The turnovers remain a major concern going forward. We'll lose any road game in which we turn the ball over 22 times. Guaranteed.

We were helped last night by out-rebounding Ga State by 10 and in collecting 17 assists to their 8. We also shot 86% from the FT line to their 60%.

Frank has had a great season but if Shabbaz can continue his play of late, then this team can be dangerous. As 66 pointed out, we do need to take better care of the ball.

Kudos to Lawson and Kinney with 7 boards a piece to help App control the boards. Lawson also had 4 blocks!

Fast starts can make a difference as witness the last two games and the last three wins.

GA St. seems to be classless across the board. Their football players talk more trash than any SBC team, football coach is smug, and basketball coach does this again.

ATL attitude coming to the country.

This is supposed to be the sport where they pay us back for the annual football beat down. Can't sit well that we've beaten them 2 out of 3 in hoops too.

We now have won 3 of 4. We have had double digit leads at half time in all three wins and were within a point of making all three double digit wins.

I don't get why Georgia State sits back in zone most of the game. In the rematch last year, they came out and pressed and killed us. We're the best 3-point team in the conference. Makes no sense for Hunter.

Similar to football in 2014 we had our share of bad games early, but the young talent is starting to mix in with a few veteran leaders to make us a pretty solid team. Not only have we won 3 of 4 (almost 4 of 5) we have played the toughest stretch on our schedule while doing it. In the last 5 games we played the top 4 teams in the league, and we've played just one team below us in the standings to start SB action.

Guys this is a GaSt thing, not an Atlanta thing. We be friendly! :D :D :D

Maybe this App team is finally putting it together. This team could be dangerous to the Belt.

We're a couple players away. Fox will get it done. He's essentially had only one legitimate recruiting class, considering the timing of his hiring. Patience, patience, patience...
