Must win is about right. If we don't catch the W on Saturday we'd almost have to run the table the rest of the way. I expected this one to be a tight game with HSU winning, perhaps on friendly calls, by three to six points. This one was a blowout from start to finish, beginning with being down 14-2. And that's troubling. The only bright news is that this might be the wakeup call this team needs.

Coach Wood has done some funky things over the years. It isn't very smart to let people like KJ run wild in the closing seconds of the game even if it is a treat for the sellout East Gym crowd.

I think we need a Yote win Saturday if for no other reason to keep the regionals in our 'hood. We absolutely don't want the dance to begin in East Gym. Jeff and the boys more than took care of business by the way easily cruising to a 22 pointer over Sonoma.

We need that kind of confidence builder. We need to learn how to dominate, even on the road, or we will end up at best a bottom seed in the regionals--if we get there at all. If we don't mark this one as the year the Broncos make the greatest fold in team history. Time to step up, men.

WRT Baby Shaq he's had a number of nagging injuries. Coach K's dilemma is that the other bigs just don't have the size to bang in with the trees like Ivan Johnson so they get pushed around a lot. At least KD gets a day's rest before donning his body armor again in Rohnert Park.

Totally agree, lakdod, it's a soft defense that allows such hot shooting. It's a brutal road trip to Arcata but it's not like we were tired from a game the night before. The CCAA changed the schedule to accomodate the demand of going to this remote site.

East Gym has been sold out for almost a week for the first place showdown, a spot we once held all alone undefeated at 5-0. We need to win the next two to return to the conversation, and we might need help as well. Seawolf Gym is not as cozy as East Gym, but the fans are pretty loyal even during so-so years. And the Wolves have won eight of the last ten while we've done less. If we're better than last year's disappointment we must prove it on the floor.
