The team must of read my blog!

Last blog below was "Hit the Free Throws Please." For SU has been dismal from the charity stripe and last nights game showed even when you shoot 35% from the field, but shoot 65% (72% in the first half) from the line and force 21 turnovers you win basketball games.  The leading scorers for SU Broussard and Burrell combined to go 22 for 28 from the stripe and SU pulled out another win 75-68 for a second time against Cal State Northridge in the Mata dome, which really isn't a dome.

Now when I say the games are broadcast on 710 ESPN - I am informing you so you can listen to the games and get insight into subtleties that aren't in the paper and box score - or you can just read it here.  Hockey match?  Yes, in one of the most unorthodox coaching strategies I have ever seen (actually heard on the broadcast), the Matadors made full five man substitutions after every offensive rebound the Redhawks grabbed - they had 25 of them!  Get out?  Can you imagine!  Albeit, they stopped the insanity with about 3 minutes to go but what a revolving door for most of the game and a nightmare for announcers Dave Grosby and Gary Hill.  Fun fact - Only one starter scored in the first half for the Matadors (5-13) - DUH, how can one get into a rhythm with a coaching strategy like that.  All round great gutsy, well played game by the Redhawk boys.

Next up for SU (8-12) and winners of 4 out of their last 6 is Monday night back in California against Fresno State 8 pm on KIRO 710 ESPN.  GO SEATTLE U
