Three conference wins in a row. This team has fought and it says a lot that they have stayed together. Hell of a job by Billy Taylor.
“Worst team in D-1”…..right.

Great win! In both the Drexel and Northeastern game there has been a glimmer of that 2nd half collapse that killed them all season, but they have been able to overcome it recently. Butler is looking to get back into rhythm which helps as well.
Credit to Taylor. Looks like what he's trying to do is starting to take hold. Still tempering expectations, but these last 3 games have given me hope for the future.
Go Phoenix!

Huge 3 wins, got some help from Northeastern (if we lost like that I’d be sick lol) but we still had to go out and win it. Thought we got NE’s best effort for most of the 2nd half and we hung around just enough. Great win!

Credit to this team. I was a full blown hater of everything about Taylor and this roster. Happy for them to prove me wrong for three games. Keep it going.

I still have trouble with one specific thing, even with the wins, but even that seems to be getting better with Taylor's coaching. I couldn't be much happier, at this point, with Taylor, JB's emergence as a scorer and leader and with the overall development of the team.

Super happy for the team. It is great to seem them playing well. Have you noticed that typically >60% of the minutes are being played by guys that won't be back next year?

We are losing 7 players I think after this season. Some replacements have already happened as a potential star in Kendall Campbell will be here. He was recruited by many Power 5 schools. Issac Harrel is another player that we already have locked up who should be a contributor. Deandre Smart will be back and this guy was averaging almost a double double when he went out with injury. I think he will be a super solid player. Max may be one of the best rookies in the CAA and Sam Sherry is coming along nicely. LA Pratt will continue to improve with time as coaches see a lot of potential in him. Remember by the time Taylor got here the transfer portal was pretty well picked over. I am sure he will be utilizing that early next year and expect to see a couple of contributors there as well.

I would say Sherry, Campbell, Smart, Mackinnon and Pratt would be a pretty good starting 5 as things look right now. If Noord and Michael can step up their game, plus a few choice portal picks, who knows? We could find ourselves in the top half of the conference by the end of the season. Things are definitely looking up!!
