Marshall, Marshall, Marshall.

Been traveling a ton so sorry for the delayed post. Not a lot to say though really, this was a "hold serve" win. It was nice to come out of the gates and dominate wire to wire, we really needed that after the last tough loss. If we win the next 3 we are in great shape. Tulane is terrible, if we get off the bus we should win that one. UTEP is a mystery, they almost beat Wake Forrest but also lost to some total dogs so who knows. We should beat UAB at home, they are losing steam and they have less top 100 wins that we do (2-1).

It is great to see Jordan back to the end of season form from last year. Not sure where he vanished to but I am glad he is back. Uzoh is playing solid as well, now that he isnt focused on being a PG. Yes, he is technically in that position but he is really just a 2 guard bringing the ball up, he is not running our non-existant offense. No need to be negative but I think there is a cause for concern because the drop off after our top two is pretty steep. Hurtt and Idlet have potential and finally Richard showed something but are there any Jordans's or Uzoh's among them? At least we have Uzoh and Jordan another year.

C-USA is not as good as I thought (seems like the 3rd or 4th year in a row I have said that) and there is no reason we cant contend for 2nd. Unfortunately, that still likely means NIT.
