Game day vs. Ducks!!

[SmalltownHawk]

I don't know about anybody else, but I'm excited for this game! Should be another fast paced game. Hopefully we can play strong offensively and have efficient defense. We'll need a big to step up and Gatens will need 15+. Prediction Hawks 78 Ducks 70.

I can't wait for 4:00! The hawks have a great chance to make it to the next round. The key will be the paint need big defensive games from Mel and Zach.

Hopefully the American west is kinder to the basketball team than it has been to the football team.

At least it's at a decent tipoff time and not something bush league like a 8:00pm Pacific tip.
