First Exhibition Game

We had our first exhibition game yesterday at Northern Illinois. The head coach there was the coach at Colorado when Coach Shelton was there and it was a fun game for both of them. We played pretty well overall and everyone was happy with the effort even though we couldn't pull it out in the end.

We lead 40-36 at halftime and lost 84-72 in the end. We had some players get in foul trouble and had some other guys step up. Overall it was a great learning experience for our guys and hopefully it will give us confidence going into our season. It's always a confidence booster to know you can play with a Division 1 team and hold your own.

We play another exhibition at Lipscomb tomorrow night and everyone around here always looks forward to that game. They are having a big promotion and it should be an awesome atmosphere. I hope to see you out at the game.
