36-12 Coogs at half. 
15:38 left, Coogs lead 44-18. Gray is carving up the short-handed Huskies right now.
11:39 left, Coogs up 48-29
Listening to Jeremy Branham for the first time for an extended period of time. Enjoying the (what I hope is) un-biased comments.
Might be better than Matt Thomas…no disrespect.
Branham is fantastic. Been listening to him on baseball games for years; guy is just a professional announcer who knows how to do radio. He does seem to have an easier time alone though as his broadcasts at home with Elvin are still a bit of a work in progress as far as trying to get Elvin involved.
7:28 left, Coogs up 54-32.
3:47 left, 57-37 Coogs.
This is good.
Coogs win 62-46!!
Nice bounce back from the Harvard loss. Hopefully we can get Davis back for the Cincy game. Have USF next on Saturday; Bulls are losing everybody and their best player, McMurray is transferring out.
Gray had 20, Dotson and Chicken had 10
Big game tonight - Cincy at Temple at 7 pm.
Sampson post game:
- After Harvard game, just talked about playing basketball
- Liked how ball moved today, shot selection was outstanding
- Learned from mistakes
- This level isn’t streetball
- Practiced Christmas Day
- Man to man defense was very good
- Going to give up 3s from time to time in zone
- Played a very mature game
- Feels sorry for Ollie with all the players out and no PG
- Hoping to get Davis back soon
- Not going to give us a whole lot of credit because UCONN was missing their PG. Kids did play hard and saw a lot of good things so we’ll take it.
Gray post game:
- Shout out to our defense
- Great win in a tough place to play. Kept crowd quiet.
- On to the next one
- Coaches said to hit them first as UCONN was hurting; don’t let them hit first
- Had to take advantage of the injuries
- Shot selves in foot with loss to Harvard. Need to win both games on the road as coach said.
Cinch wins at Temple 56-50. Really starting to look like a 3 team conference with Cincy, SMU, and us being those 3 teams.
I don’t think we’re in the SMU/Cincy or even Temple ranks yet…maybe Memphis.
