SHSU Take 3 (L 3-2)

Let’s get one win from these guys…please.

SHSU took 2 of 3 from a very good McNeese State team (we’ll see them in 2 weeks).

My expectations, now, of this team for midweek games is a loss. I don’t know how in the world I can be faulted for that

Thank goodness we don’t have to play this team any more after tonight.

Knowing our luck, they will be in our Regional. Then again, we wouldn’t be playing them on a Tuesday, so it likely wouldn’t be a problem.

Just a reminder that the game is on ESPN3 tonight.

Interesting…
