Don't be fooled by their name, they're no cupcake. Very solid mid major.
Like Princeton, pretty good opportunity here. Need to stay focused the entire game.[/quote]
Agreed, they have some size too in Joshua Nurse and Cori Johnson.[/quote]
Youse guyz ah startin to scare me.[/quote]
If we have to stay focused for Saint Francis I can't wait for the pre game discussion for the Seton Hall game.

It's easy to become unfocused against an inferior team. You know this 72. This team for some reason always plays down to their opponents. That's why people are saying to stay focused. We always seem to ramp it up for the better teams. I know I shouldn't have to explain this to you.
I think you're just a ball buster sometimes ;-)[/quote]
Yes I am but I no longer use a hammer.
I don't know if we play down to the competition or they are getting up for us. For many of these OOC teams we are still a bigger name in a better conference so they will play harder. This is especially true in the first half when those opponents are fresh from their coach's locker room pep talk.
Quite honestly I don't have the same enthusiasm for every game like in my younger days. After the first two seasons I only attended the big games. Sadly one can't even give tickets away anymore to lesser opponents games.
Like a few others I lost interest in red/white and other things because of more important things in life.
Like the team, it's hard to get up for Saint Francis but I know they will be up for us. This is their biggest game of the year.
