Next three games are on the road. New Orleans, Nicholls and Lamar.

Defense gets the trophy tonight.

Braeuer's inaugural season can't claim best season ever, but has an outside chance to be in the top 5 SFA seasons ever. Only 7 seasons have finished higher than an .800 win percentage. Currently on track to be the eighth, but there's a lot of conference yet to play.

Definitely the healthiest a Jacks team has been in a long while. Colonel did have a limp after the game as it looks like he had an ankle sprain with about a minute to go. But, depth has kept minutes reasonable for everyone. In a good position for the back half.

Unlike in recent years where we said we recruited shooters, this team is effective up and down the lineup in scoring. Of course the starters have the gaudy stats, but our b-line that plays after four minutes (Mohammed, Narit, Alisas, Scurry, and Smith Jr.) are getting it done. They have been holding their own.

Things are looking up inside the Sawmill. Crowds are getting more invested. It will be fun to see if the Jacks can blow this thing wide open this year.
