SP travels to Rider Thursday night (late game in MAAC). Rider -2.5/135. In the first game, Rider won 62-57. However, Washington played only 15 minutes but had 11 points and 5 rebounds. I think this was the game he injured his shoulder. Hogue did not play. Randolph 14 minutes 5 points. Reid lead the way 17 points. Here's the deal, Rider is playing better than the start of the season, however a healthy Washington and Hogue will be on display tomorrow night. Moreover, Randolph has found his groove and will be a factor. Fortunately for SP, Reid is coming off his best game and really shows no signs of a hand injury. Bottom line... a win gets a bye in the MAACT. As always... Go Peacocks!

Youngalum comes through again. I couldn't agree more with this guy. I really like SP in this spot even though it's Senior Day. This game should be a 1 or 2 possession game and will go down to the wire. Let's stay out of foul trouble. SP 65-63 Go Peacocks!

Yup should be a tight one in an ultra important game for seeding. I was thinking about taking the drive down but it looks close to sell out in their bandbox. No seats left behind SPU bench so I’m hoping some of our faithful gobbled them up. Could be a rare mid week pour at halftime to calm down!

I don’t want to deter any of our fans thinking of going so I should amend that there may be plenty of general admission tickets still left. Chairbacks are mostly gone. One other note. In a tight game I like Coach Bash over Bagget.

Lol. As Dr Bop, greatest midwest college town band All-Time, would say "reward yourself".
Kick back folks, I love the Peacocks tonight.

Not a good first half for either team. Ugly.

Lol, Youngalum. Here's the deal, as bad as we shot in the half, we are in it. It's amazing when Washington goes out, we have no offense. Second half, SP shoots better, plays same defense (I like the way officials letting them play), and gets the W. Go Peacocks !

As well as SP gets the ball under the bucket, Rider collapses. If they can kick it to a trailer or perimeter, it's a bucket.

Atrocious. We gave this game away. Hope Tanksley has a better handle than Clarke and Reid. Now I need a drink.

It’s pretty raw right now but my pregame prediction of Bash outcoaching Bagget was the opposite. Horrible last couple of offensive positions. How does Washington not get a touch? We save the timeout for down 4 with 3 seconds? Kids played hard but in a must win game we lose to Rider without their best player. Disappointing.
Just realized Niagara plays Marist so luckily we can’t finish in the Pig, even if we lose Saturday.

How many times is Clarke going to dribble into traffic and lose the ball? Hope Coach Bash learned something tonight about where the ball needs to go when we absolutely need a basket.
Can Houge ever defend anyone without fouling them?
Just glad tonight was not the MAAC tournament. We did not play up to our full capabilities.
