Extremely proud of the way our guys competed tonight! Winthrop will win A LOT of D1 games this year. This is a fun group! Time to get back to work….
FINAL: Winthrop 110, Mary Baldwin 78. Pretty great effort from the Fighting Squirrels, especially for their first-ever game. Again, they could do some things at the D3 level. STATS:

5 games. 3 finished in OT. The others, a 3 point game, and a 5 point game. Had leads late in all of them. Youngest team in the country. (check our roster). But don’t feel sorry for us, we need to get better and learn how to finish. We will, and when we do… watch out. #Team1.

Thanks coach! And it was 3 🏆🏆🏆 Can’t sell ourselves short!.
Happy Birthday to our former PG- Matt Griggs. @MBUcoachGriggs helped lead @Centre_Bball to a couple 🏆🏆 as he was the consummate floor general. A bulldog defensively- his 3 3PTers against Trinity were huge in the ‘11Semis. Today, Matt is Head Coach at MBU.
