We win one

100-68 over Milligan.
A win's a win. From the stat sheet, the bench shoot a lot better than the starters?

Now we know we could be successful in the NAIA. Wow! I'm suffering throw-back to my undergrad days more years ago than I'm ever gonna admit.

Thank R.Gilbert (73% shooting), C.Burgess (71% shooting), A.Scott (57% shooting), T.Toney (50%) and M.Obacha for that win. Obacha shot only 37%, but I'll give him props for 17 boards. He's off the hook. T.Baskin, our best eligible player started, but played only 3 minutes. What's up with that? Injury?

On the other hand, M.Neal shot 27%; T.Hamilton only 38%; M.Kobani 33%; and D.Clarke 25%. I'll give Hamilton props for shooting 42% from behind the arc.

Overall--we beat an NAIA team. Wow, again.

Gilbert scored at an incredible rate today (22 points in 25 minutes) and Obacha had almost a rebound a minute (17 in 21 minutes). Hamilton pumped in close to twenty for his third high scoring game in a row. It was a weird day statistically, including Baskin's three minutes of play. Must say even though it was against Milligan I was impressed with the final margin. Of course, we are still winless against D1 competition.

How bad is it for someone to start quoting stats and touting players performances in a win over a NAIA team. :roll:

That Obacha rebounding reminds me of the stats Tony Searcy used to put up.

I guess that's what it has come to. :oops: Did you think we could beat anybody by 32 points? ;)

Still, you have to be impressed with Gilbert's performance regardless of the opposition considering how little he plays otherwise.

The NAIA played a good brand of basketball in the 60's. I am sure some of us are old enough to remember those WSSU and High Point College teams of the day,
Sadly it, nor we are the same. But a win is a win and some of the performances at least statistically were very impressive.
Still I'll take it as a positive lead in to the break. Just wonder why it was listed as an exhibition on Milligan's schedule. Doesn't it count?

I believe it counts for App but not for them. This allows DII and NAIA teams to play some DI competition without hurting their record.
