5-0--pretty amazing play early in the season!

This is already one of the most interesting teams we have had in some time. We have played some pretty good teams and we have blown out several early and gone down early to others but it is very impressive that even when we were down 10 today and Villanova was looking strong and tough we came back and won by double digits. Early in the game I was have a heart attack because I thought we really needed this game for national recognition. After the game the talking heads are really giving us some nice pub with Gottleib saying that we were definitely an NCAA tournament team. I am not sure that is the case but we sure look like a team that would be dangerous to play. Our defensive intensity is good and can get better and if we shoot like we did today from the 3 we can literally play with almost any team in the country. JJ had a great offensive game but I think the key to the game was his defense on Wayans after he got off to the huge start. JJ made it very tough for him to get open looks.

The great thing is that this team has terrific depth and virtually every player has room to improve in one or more areas so with this veteran coaching staff we may be better in March than we are now.

WOW! Go Bills!

Billikan, I'm especially happy for long time supporters like yourself. Enjoy the season, it's going to be a special one.

We are thin on the frontline, but otherwise, we are a very solid team in every other aspect. If RL can get a little CE-type fire in the belly, then we will really have something.

I think Rob has the fire but he just needs about 20 pounds of muscle and another year of hard coaching on positioning in the low post. It is remarkable how much better Cody is playing and he still has room to get stronger and better. With our younger guys on the bench like Manning pushing Loe he will need to get better and I think he will. Wow, do we have a great group of guards and they defend like crazy and take care of the ball beautifully. I do not think we have ever had a team with the quality of talent at the 7-8- and 9 positions like we do now!

You are exactly right. I can't remember a time as a Billiken fan where I wasn't worried if we got pressed.

Much appreciated. Thanks to Box, now unnecessary. But I'll happily buy some rounds for the effort.

Sounds good. Bring Jimbo too. Tear some ###### up.

If Billikan is optimistic, you know the billikens are having a good year. Oh wait?

I'm on cloud nine right now but I really want the biils to win these next two and enter our easy December schedule undefeated.

Me too. How awesome would it be to go into New Mexico undefeated? I think that game is much more winnable seeing them play yesterday. Man can you imagine us going into Dayton unblemished. That would be too sweet.

I have to say this season has been freakin' awesome. I have to admit this time must feel so good to all of the fans who have been saying - "wait until next year." I have been hearing it for years and saying it for years. I finally feel like all the effort is coming to fruition. It's the first time in a long time that it has been easy being a Billiken fan. Enjoy - it has been a long time coming.

One game at a time. Marathon, not a sprint. The last time I was never worried about the press was the early 90's ---- H Waldman, Erwin Claggett, Scott Highmark, Carl Turner , David Robinson and Donny Dobbs.

The press is where you can easily see the value a Kyle Cassity has to this team.

Teams rarely tried to press Marque Perry
