We finally pick up our second win, an easy 75-56 romp over Georgia Southern. It's Arthur Rodriguez as PotG with 17 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and a steal. Alvaro Houghton scores 17 as well with 5 rebounds, Sid Johnson has a bad shooting night but grabs 10 points, 7 assists, a block, and 2 steals. Bruce Boyd scores 11, and Heath Wagstaff, our best rebounder, has 8 points, 12 rebounds, a block, and a steal off the bench.

Our first home game is against Rider, and the fans are dismayed at a 3 point loss when our offense dies at the most inopportune times in the second half. RPI tanks almost 100 places as a result of the upset.

We finally win our first single-digit decider, 79-70, over College of Charleston, when four out of five starters score 11+ points, keyed by Sid Johnson's 22 points and 2 steals. Alvaro Houghton scores 17 with 8 rebounds.

But then we score 2 points in the final 5 minutes against Wichita State and drop a winnable one. The reverse happens vs Western Michigan, with every starter but one scoring 12+ points in a 75-65 win. Dominique Judson, usually the odd man out, is PotG with 15 points, 9 rebounds, and a block. Sid Johnson is our lead scorer with 17.

CSU-Northridge has a midseason OOC game, but they finish the first portion 4-6. So either 5-6 or 4-7 - pretty decent considering their schedule, I'd say.

Sid Johnson is flourishing under our scheme and scores 18 points in a 58-39 beatdown of Northern Colorado in the conference opener. But it's Dominique Judson's 11 points, 12 rebounds, and a steal that wins PotG.

We finally flip a close game our way, narrowly outpointing Arkansas-Little Rock 66-65, Sid Johnson scoring 17 to be PotG, Alvaro Houghton scoring an inefficient 18 points and 6 rebounds, and Arthur Rodriguez putting up 11 with a steal.

A road back-to-back against Montana and South Dakota which is just weird for conference games. We're back to .500 overall and undefeated against ursine conference foes as we take down the Grizzlies 78-69. Four of five starters in double-digit scoring, helmed by Alvaro Houghton with 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 steals. Then we shoot 36.1% against North Dakota and lose pretty easily to end the month and record our first Big Sky loss.
