On Saturday, we beat Union for the first time EVER. And we didn’t just squeak by them. We built the lead up to as much as eighteen points, and ended up winning 59-46. I really don’t think winning has ever felt so good.
Sitting on the bench at the end of the game watching as we continued to outhustle, out-execute, and outplay our opponents, I thought about our Senior Day last year, which was against Union, who was at the top of the league standings while we were…well, we were not at the top. We got blown out that day, and they never really let down at any point during the game. It was one of my worst memories of the season last year, but it made this win even sweeter. Revenge feels great. For me and the few other returners that were around for that game last year, Saturday was a particularly satisfying win.
This might sound a little harsh, but honestly, this is collegiate basketball. It’s the Liberty League. There’s no room for sympathy. Someone asked me the other day who I thought our ‘rival’ was. I told them I didn’t think we had one, because I feel the same disdain for every team we play. I respect them all, but I want to beat each of them equally as bad as the others. Like I said, this is college basketball, and it’s the Liberty League.
That being said, Saturday’s revenge was nothing short of incredible. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to head into the most crucial part of our season: the second half of Liberty League, where our playoff fate will be decided. Here we go…
