Where’s Willie ?

Most Binghamton Bearcats fans are happy with the men's basketball  team and its 6-4 record.  The Bearcats earned five wins in the month of November...the first time a Binghamton team has done that in the 70 year history of the school.  Recent come- from- behind thrillers over Long Beach State and St. Francis University have fanned the flames of hope for Bearcat faithful who have waited for positive winning signs since the 2009 championship season.

And now ...one question remains....where is Willie ?  Willie being BU's standout forward Willie Rodriguez who shouldered the bulk of the team's offense and rebounding over the past two seasons.  Willie being an America East Pre-Season First-Team All Conference selection.

Willie has played just nine minutes so far this season.  He suffered a hamstring injury early in pre-season conditioning and has continued to be plagued by it.  He has seen limited practice time during the first three weeks of the season.  But now there is hope that "Wil Rod" could be back on the court full-time soon.  He has gotten clearance to return to practice and may see duty in the next week.  With his average of 15 points a game last season the Bearcats and their fans can't wait to see him back.
