We saw most wins at home this season since 2006-07
Fans enjoyed the season.
Good coaching and the young team played well
And the fans were active and loud all season
Good luck the rest of the way

I like undoubtedly a few others, have to admit that the Friars have exceeded my expectations for the season. More importantly, they clawed their way out of what (to me at the time), appeared to be a gigantic hole back at the end of January, personifying the grit and perseverance that has become characteristic of Ed Cooley's teams...
I remember a tweet from Kyron last summer, declaring that this group of players shouldn't be overlooked, and then came the Pre-Season BE Poll. Kyron was acting like a leader then - and more importantly, he's backed it up on the court this season - particularly while this latest group of Friars were evolving into the sense of balance, chemistry and roles that have contributed to this late season surge.
Just like last season, we have the opportunity to go into MSG and play just before the BE Tournament. Hopefully, our win streak gets extended on Saturday - our next "big" game.

Cooley has done an excellent job with this team this year. Might be his best coaching job. Guys developed and grew up this year before our eyes. A few weeks ago this team was left for dead and many of us were questioning not only this year but the future in regards to this team and winning. It's nice to see this team peaking at the right time. Great way to close out the home slate. It will be interesting to see who comes into the dunk next year.

Seems to be a trend with Cooley's teams doesn't it? Can't say enough for what he has done year in and year out. Haven't take the leap to the next level just yet, but it feels like its coming. |

They played 1 extra OOC at home this year, and I would guess this is how they'll schedule going forward for the extra W and the extra gate.

Agreed and also traveling to tournaments could impact as well.
