This time it was not a complete game by the Knights but we did enough in the second half to beat the Blazers for the first time. We dominated inside the paint for most of the game but especially in the first half. We out-rebounded them on both ends of the court and capitalized on their mistakes in the first half. Although UAB eventually made a game out of it by taking the lead by one point late in the second half, we stayed composed enough to retake the lead and pull away by seven points to close out the game. Great win against yet another team that made it to the big dance last year. Can we get Coach Jones to coach the football team?
Go Knights!

Knights beat Memphis in Men's Hoops!
Awesome game from the tip off to the final buzzer. The Knights came ready to play and everyone contributed. There is nothing I like more when I see a total team effort for a win. Keith had one of the best games I have ever seen him play and Marcus came up with a few clutch plays going down the stretch. The final rebound and putback by Keith at the end of the game was a close call and could have gone either way, luckily for the home team we got the call. Keith drained the free throw and 4 seconds later we made history.
I was glad to see the student section rush the court after it was final, let's celebrate!
Go Knights!

Way to step up Isaiah Sykes part 2
OK long time no post I know and a lot has happened in the last 30 days or so.
The latest victory for the Men's hoops squad was another great team performance by everyone involved. Both Keith and Zeke(Isaiah) had double doubles with Zeke grabbing 14 rebounds (11 of them of the offensive flavor) and adding 21 points. Four of those points were late in the game Monster Jams the last one was a one handed stuff up between two defenders, Dunk You very much. Josh Crittle played well in the middle and added 10 points with four rebounds. It seemed like a pretty big crowd especially the Knightmare section which appeared to be full. Coach Jones will be back for the game on Saturday Knight up in Huntington when we take on his former team Marshall. Should be an exciting game.
