Bulldogs

It was a tough loss last night against West Virginia. I think that our Dawgs did a great job this season. We were supposedly picked second to last in the West, with Ole Miss being the worst team. Both Mississippi schools did one heck of a job this season, both going to post season play. Ole Miss winning in the first round of the NIT but couldn't get it done against Clemson in the second. On the other hand, The DAWGS had a great second half of the season. They had victories against LSU (both at home and away), Arkansas, Vandy, Bama, Kentucky, and Florida State. We had a strong showing at the SEC Tourney and the NIT. Made it all the way to the semi's in the NIT, but only getting beat on a 3 pointer with 2.1 seconds to go in the game. It was heartbreaking to watch, it was heartbreaking to see our players faces. Not going to blame anyone, (cough) coach (cough), but it was disappointing to see our players at every time-out just stand there in a huddle, in silence, no direction to go ...... When you have the West Virginia coach with his team close in, making plays and giving them an plan of attack. Especially with 2.1 seconds to go............................................ Stan, you are a GREAT recruiter.

Oh well, hopefully it will make our boys hungry for next season. As of right now, Jamont and Charles are coming back. Charles will be a senior and Jamont will be a Junior. Should be interesting. But, we are losing The Man ...... Dietric Slater. Dietric had an awesome HALF season. The HALF meaning that Dietric had to sit out until the first of January because of disciplinary actions............ (cough) pot (cough) ........... But he made the second half of the season worth wild. With a broken hand, stitches under the eye, bad back, and supposedly hurt foot still averaged 8 points a game with 6.4 rebounds. We will miss Die-tric Sla-ter!

Oh, I forgot about Southern Miss . I think they played Tulane twice, got beat both times and they also got beat by Rice. There biggest win came against the Auburn Tigers. The C-USA is hurting with Louisville and Cinny leaving. Way to go Southern on a 22-11 season.

Looking forward to baseball season............... more to come!
