I'm a big believer that you can be whoever you want, it doesn't matter. religion, race, creed, color. Yes, we all go through different environments and different challenges. But if someone could focus, and they can be educated, and be, and put in the right environment by you, just imagine how many kids lives you will change throughout the United States”. “Although being a black man in America, there are historic and systemic things that have made it a lot more challenging. But I'm not the kind of person that wants to say, Hey, I'm victim. You know, life is unfair. To me. That's a coward's way out”. “There's never been a moment where I tried to shift blame or blame my circumstances or my conditions on another individual. Because ultimately, I've made my own choices like we all do”. Resources: Malik Wade Fitness Scholastic Interest Group   Connect with Ben!

At the CBU Events Center on Wednesday night, it was shades of the Duke-Maryland game from 2001. Do you remember that? 10 points in 54 seconds for Jay Williams to lead the Blue Devils to the win. On January 12, 2022, it was almost repeated. The only difference is that Dixie State scored 11 points in a little over a minute to earn a 79-76 win over CBU. The Lancers held a 76-68 lead with 1:26 to play.  And then all the craziness broke loose. Dixie State forced four CBU turnovers in the final minute and used an 11-0 run to pull off the thrilling win. Shades of Jay Williams.  Isaiah Pope had five of the 11 points in the run. The and-1 conversion with nine seconds to play by Pope was the dagger.  Cam Gooden finished with a game-high 26 points in the win. Dan Akin led CBU with 23 points. The Lancers were short-handed on Wednesday night. Taran Armstrong and Te'Jon Sawyer were both out with a non-COVID illness and Malik Wade is battling a knee injury.  Dixie State avoided starting WAC play 0-4 with the win. CBU drops to 0-2 in WAC play. In the other game of the night, the Big 3 for Seattle saved the day. Utah Valley led 54-44 with just over six minutes to play. But, from that point on, scored just 11 points. And Seattle took advantage led by Riley Grigsby, Darrion Trammell and Cameron Tyson.  Grigsby hit a 3-pointer out of a timeout with just over a minute to play to give the Redhawks a 62-60 lead. After Connor Harding hit one of two free throws for Utah Valley, Tyson hit the dagger with a three from the wing to make it 65-61. And Seattle hit free throws down the stretch to seal the statement win. Seattle was 0-7 from deep in the first half. And then exploded to hit 10 3-pointers in the second half. Cameron Tyson finished with 25 points, 21 of those were in the second half. Trammell finished with 20 points and eight rebounds. And Grigsby finished with 13 points.  "I don't know if we win this game a month ago," said Interim Head Coach Chris Victor. "But tonight we showed how much we've grown as a group. Towards the end of the first half we started getting frustrated, taking bad shots and forcing it. At halftime we told the guys, 'you've put in the work, you're great players and great shooters, you're going to start making them.'" Fardaws Aimaq finished with 16 points and nine rebounds for Utah Valley. The Wolverines were without starter Tim Fuller who was dealing with a non-COVID illness.  Just a fun, fun night of WAC Hoops on Wednesday and it only gets better. 

California Baptist is off to its best start as a Division I program at 8-1. The lone loss came at No. 7 Texas. And the Lancers also feature one of the best young players in the game in freshman Taran Armstrong. Yes, Armstrong has the ability to put up a triple-double night in and night out. But, it is the other little things like learning how to play defense, the competitiveness and so forth that are setting him apart. Add in the fact that, according to both Rick Croy and Braiden Bell, his teammates love playing with him, and you have a solid mix.  California Baptist has more depth than normal in 2021-22. With transfers Chance Hunter and Dan Akin, the Lancers got some veterans out of the transfer portal. These two go well with Ty Rowell, Reed Nottage and Tre Armstrong who have all been in the program for multiple years. Plus, having Te'Jon Sawyer and Malik Wade back again after their freshman campaigns makes life a little easier for Croy.  California Baptist has a big game at UC Riverside on Sunday before going to Tucson to take on Arizona the following week. Rick Croy is doing amazing things in Riverside and the Lancers continue to get stronger.
