Great start Niners. Let's keep it going, straight through ECU.
Spears is a beast. I've really been impressed with Braswell's play so far. He is a great passer and knows what ot do around the basket. I can't wait to see him develop throughout the year.
We need someone to step up as our go to shooter. We have several options, but they haven't been consistent. If this happens, we will be a pretty good team come March.
LET'S GO NINERS!!!!!!!
some permanent links to Niner stats, radio info, A10 stats, etc would be excellent on this blog.
Niners off to a great start! Keep it up guys! Go Niners!
Spears' level of play, so far, has been a great asset to the 49ers. I hope he makes a difference this year and gets the program back on track. And bring back the old winning days of Lutz's scrapy recruits that could beat just about any big name opponent on any given night.
