[SDHornet]

Probably the best game played on the year for the Hornets last night. Only had 9 turnovers and were near perfect from the FT line. Some clutch shooting down the stretch by different players when the game was close as well. I hope this means this team has turned the corner. Now we have a tough one against Portland on Sunday.

Hornets fall 80-75 at home against Portland. The Pilots had a pretty noticeable size advantage but the Hornets matched their physicality. McKinney went off but the Hornets couldn't quite pull it out in the final minute. Damn good effort by the Hornets tonight.

Big win right there. NAU was 0-4 on the road coming in and SMC was #5 in the mid-major poll.

Big win for NAU and the BSC.

[SDHornet]

A typical 66-47 Hornet road no-show as they allow a struggling Seattle to look like world beaters.

[Mvemjsunpx]

Big win right there. NAU was 0-4 on the road coming in and SMC was #5 in the mid-major poll.

Big win for NAU and the BSC.

Of course, they've been hammered by two MEAC teams since that win.
