Defense has improved, and I didn't see the Griffs shooting too many open threes. And before we forget, we did SHOOT 64.3%. As Jim McDermott used to say, give a team a big lead and they will drop kick the ball into the basket. We never trailed in the game.

I give Arnold credit for righting the ship but we all know TC is involved now in video capacity coaching them . So let’s be honest We are being honest. Cluess is involved but Arnold still is managing the day to day effort in person. Both deserve credit

Agree, Trae has been more vocal and players are listening, they even huddled at halftime at center court coaches and players are all pulling in the same direction now Probably helped that players figured out Cluess wasn't coming back and we need to make this work

I agree with this 100%,Both are involved heavily in this turnaround,TC is working non- stop with all aspects of the day to day operations,Tra is implementing hands on and is doing a really good job,it is a winning formula and rounding into shape at exactly the right time,when we’re in last place I posted 5th place was a guarantee,I guess I was being a little optimistic but I knew the hard work that was being put in. Moving forward every game is big in the next week,but WHO wants to play us? NOBODY!!! These kids are having fun,playing hard and liking each other,onto Niagara!!

Same story the last three years, the team begins playing defense at season's end. Ross is contributing like Gist did at the end of last season. Hope the Dutchman is at full strength by AC.... where nobody will want to face the Gaels.

Great game yesterday. IW goes and we go. Have to give a shoutout to Perez for his play as well. Confidence with this team is on a completely different level than earlier in the season. Perez tried to jump over everything for a dunk and we've Agee throwing fastballs on the fast break.
Interesting thing yesterday when observing the game was that everyone looked like they were having fun. IW, Crawford, Agee and Van Eyck were all laughing on the line after IW tried to do his signature layup and got rejected. They were all cracking jokes on IW which was good to see. In addition, Arnold at points was leaning on the score table laughing. He was joking around with players at points, but serious at others. The level of respect for each other is in place and the team is operating on all cylinders.
One take away, Agee averaging almost 5 turnovers a game. 3 turnovers yesterday occurred on the fast break which he needs to stop trying to lead. Outside of that, I think it was a great game and an overall surprise to watch.
Let's keep this rolling.

As it was pointed out earlier in this thread, all this probably wouldn't have happened if it were not for EJ's tweet. Go Gaels!

Who is starting the Niagara thread? I got yelled earlier this season for starting it, so I won't be doing it anymore. We're on a win streak so whoever has been starting it should continue doing it.
