Ahh serves me right for being too lazy to check myself. I'll now say 10 hail marys, flail myself, and think about what I've done.

The next big one is Michigan. If we - I mean after we have beaten them,
we should continue our rise in the AP poll. This team is only going to get better
as the season goes along. Can hardly wait for Semi to get with the team. And Tolbert
is going to continue being a beast. My one concern is Ben Moore. He can't keep
disappearing when we need him to score. He is capable of 10-20 points a game
and he drops 2 on Yale. Come on Ben - turn it up a notch like you did in the first two
games.

The team as a whole was out of rhythm against yale. I think the late night flight from Palo alto had given them dead legs.

Ben's shot wasn't falling and i think he was a little freaked after the flagrant. Hopefully the week off helps him.

Anyone who plays basketball may have an off night or two. You all may be right -
he was either tired or something was bothering him. We had five players in double
figures and two more around 8 pts. If Ben had hit his average, he would have had 17
and this game would have been a blowout.

I'm not down on Ben - he does everything else well and is always around the ball.
There is one other small thing that he does once or twice a game. He throws a soft
looping pass on occasion that is easily intercepted. If he averaged 10-12 pts/game I'd
be content.

So far this week #s 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22 and 25 (A&M) have lost. If we handle business against Brown, we should move up a few spots.

I am not concerned with how me might climb at this time. There are voters who will black ball us due to the sanctions. Of and when we can beat some of the bigger fish they will have to acknowledge us.
