They are definitely warming up, especially after being down 6 at half, and being down as much as 11 during the game.

This Saints team has shown that they can win and close out the close game, even against the toughest of opponents. The rest of the year looks to be a complete turn-around from a dismal first semester. The contest against the tough Salem State team on Thursday should show some more of what Emmanuel has to offer, seeing as how the MASCAC is a superior conference when compared to the GNAC.  If the Saints can continue their impressive after Christmas swing, the rest of the conference match-ups should not be an issue for them.

Keep and eye out

Can anyone explain how Emmanuel beats a pretty good NAIA team with two seven footers and then looses to a 3-8 team?

"And then looses to a 3-8 team?"

If you are referring to the 8-4 Olivet Nazareth team they lost too, it may have something to do with th scholarships they can give to their players, as they are an NAIA D1 school.

Honest mistake, I am sure. Coaches all over the country were impressed still with Emmanuel's play in Florida. Whenever a team holds a team with a future Hall of Fame coach, with a team that averages almost 100 points a game to less than 60, it has to turn heads.

Watch out for Emmanuel this coming semester- the board is quick to forget the 17 game win streak the Saints had last year.
