What a great way to finish 2010.  The Panthers are now 6-5 and take momentum into CAA play.  With a blowout win over a quality opponent in Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and UT-Chattanooga you'd think they played two great games but there is still plenty of room for improvement.  That's an encouraging sign as it's much easier for the coaching staff to teach while we win and the team's confidence continues to grow.

Coach Rod Barnes: "I am so proud of our team. I am just so excited for this team. They came out and played hard. They deserve to be raising that trophy tonight."


Great two game stretch for Dante Curry as he was named the Dr. Pepper MVP.  We will need him to put performances together in CAA play in January and February.  He and Eric Buckner were named to the All Tournament Team after Buck dropped a career high 23 points on the Mocs last night.
