Oh yeah, and the Wizards held off the Thunder.\u00a0 Maybe\u00a0should all\u00a0get shootin’ lessons from the Nuge and move to Montana.\u00a0 Before getting to the Dukes, a quick question:\u00a0 Would it have been inappropriate for Wiz fans to storm the court tonight?\u00a0 Never even occured to me at the pro level, but just felt right at the end this evening.<\/p>\n

That kinda night!<\/p><\/div>\n

Ok, we can finally celebrate snapping this miserable JMU losing streak, stop hearing about how their only CAA win was largely based on a miracle shot at Hofstra, and overlook the typically awful incidents in tonight’s game (blowing an 11 point lead midway through the 2nd, Semenov missing two techs that would’ve stopped UNCW’s run, and genearlly trying desparately to give away a game in which they appeared to be both more talented and better coached).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Good<\/strong><\/p>\n

Darn right I said better coached, and no one is more surprised than we are after finally testing the waters of the #firemattbrady pool these past couple of days.\u00a0 But tonight’s gameplan of mixing up the defenses with some first-half zone and then constant double-teaming from every angle on Seahawk’s star Keith Rendlemen was definitely worthy of high praise.<\/p>\n

Humpty’s career high 27 were enormous and the return of his three-point touch was a site for sore eyes.<\/p>\n

The ball in Devon Moore’s hands throughout the last few minutes with no question who’s show it was in crunch time!<\/p>\n

Enoch Hood chipped in with 14 points, great effort on Rendlemen, and consistent work on the glass. His development is the high point of the season so far.\u00a0 He even drew some love from UNCW reporter Brian Mull.\u00a0 (seriously, if you care about the CAA, there’s not a better, more reasoned voice anywhere than Mull – follow him on Twitter @BGMull and enjoy!)<\/p>\n

The Bad<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’re skipping this tonight in celebration of snapping the streak, but continuing to miss Julius is tough when the inevitable offensive droughts come.<\/p>\n

The Ugly<\/strong><\/p>\n

One word: MadiZone.\u00a0 We hate you, you cheap, low-rent piece of crap.\u00a0 The jmusports website may look better, but this remains sickening, especially on a night when I’m fairly confident that only the two of us and a couple more shut-ins with their cable out were tuning in.<\/p>\n
