A freshman grew up today. I think we all have seen glimmers of Gibson's potential throughout the season but one aspect or another wasn't working out, most of the time it being his shot. But today, that shot was falling and he became not just the #3 scorer that we've been getting to complement Fobbs and Betrand but he became THE crucial scorer. The distribution will come but today, we needed that scoring. Such an impressive job by the whole team to get off to that fast start and to get out on shooters and contest the 3-point line. Often, we've shook our heads in disgust at the number of 3's that opponents hit against us. Today, the opponents were the ones frustrated. When you're playing a team that you might be a bit overmatched by (Knight and Van Vliet being that mismatch), you need them to shoot poorly and you need to shoot well for it to go your way. We got that today. So as we hit the halfway point of the conference season, we're tied for 2nd. You could have gotten some really nice Vegas odds after the 3rd game of the conference season that we'd be in this spot. As mentioned earlier, they're doing it in many different ways and they've done well to adjust to the different styles that they've faced. The results from the rest of the conference over the last week or so shows that there's no invincible team and no invincible home court. Currently, we're the hottest team around and that desperately needs to continue with this week's homestand. Again, as I see it, take it game by game. It seems the players are getting more and more confident and I think that little Club Dub fun on Insta shows that mentally, they've really got the positive vibes brewing. Now, here's the challenge for those of you in the Athletic Department and especially, the Marketing people. You've got the students finally back on campus (gosh, I loved minimester) and you have the hottest team in conference playing a pair of home games this week. You have an anniversary celebration for the first NCAA Tournament team in school history. Get your asses out there on campus this week and spread the word like wildfire that there's a game on Thursday night and we need the place loud and packed. If we have crap crowds for these two upcoming games, that's a giant failure for the department as a whole.

Believe I heard it correctly from Spiros in the postgame. That was the 5th straight conference win by 8 or more points by Towson.. never ever done before. Look the postgame celebration in the locker room via Instagram says it all. I love being proved wronged and keep doing it to us team. Play with that chip on your shoulders. Why can’t we dance come March!!?? Fun listen today as I thought when it was cut to 2 we were in big trouble. And last thing.. can we recruit another Philly!!?? Davis and now AB.. they come to play!!!

Betrand can be one of the special scorers in Towson history if he stays all 4 years. Thought the same about Zane but he was a quitter

I said very similar things About Gibson early in the season. Sure he’s had some down moments. But he’s a freshman and being ssked to carry the load at PG. i see him doing nothing but progressing over the next couple years. Very good win. Not many saw this streak coming just three weeks ago. Including myself honestly. I felt they would get better, but might have seen more like 3-3 or possibly 4-2 coming.

I know some on this board we're elated and some skeptical when we signed Gibson. I really liked that he was a pass-first point guard, but he's turned into a confident, if not cocky scorer. Which is fine. He probably should have had 2 or 3 more assists tonight (had just one), but to me, this is the biggest development we've had in our program in a very long time. Having a young point guard that could be a really good one down the line. Sure, he might score 5 points in the next game, but he takes care of the ball. His shooting numbers don't look good overall, but they were much better than a month ago. And Betran, Fobbs, Gibson and Gray all shoot over 80% from the line. Good teams can hit FTs in the end of the game. Even though we missed a couple today, still 14 of 19 is 74%. That's the sign of a good team.

What a great win. I didn’t think this team had it in them falling to 0-3 and trailing late at Uncw. Boy am I happy to be wrong. Tribe were 7-0 at home this year and had won 11 straight going back to last year m. Second game in 2 days on the road in front of a good crowd today. Workman’s game today. Keep it going and hopefully now we have 4 consistent scorers!
