Horizon Notebook – Looking Towards the End Game

Everybody’s doing it. Everybody denies it, but everybody’s doing it. At this time of the year, every coaching staff in America is scrutinizing its remaining schedule. Can we win our conference? Can we get a conference tournament bye? Can we get an at-large bid to one tournament to another?

And that would make last night—Tuesday December 23, 2008—the greatest single night.

Horizon Notebook: If Wright State Manages to Recruit Some Players, Look Out

They defended so well the night before New Year’s Eve against Cleveland State that I couldn’t wait for my next chance to see them play; that came last night in the Nutter Center in their conference game hosting Illinois-Chicago.
