We got the win last night, Charleston Southern put on a great fight, but we prevailed. The test tonight is going to be tougher. Got to contain their two big scorers. I happen to be in the area tonight, and I got my tickets. Let's go RU!

Glad you could make it. I am hoping we cruise tonight, but that hasnt been easy with Hampton. We have a pretty experienced team and a good defense. I have a feeling that might be just enough to get us to the 'ship on Sunday.

Well what a great performance. Without Carlik Jones we are a bottom feeder in the Big South.

Yeah you take Carlik and Travis off this team and oooof. Wish we had a legit big man for the future because Lewis can’t cut it. I know we’ve signed 3 guards but no big men. Maybe Coach knows something we don’t? Here we come NIT

I know you aren't supposed to complain about the officiating when you lose, but that was some egregious lopsided officiating. Really disappointing that we get such bad crews when there are a lot of games being played on a Friday night.

Fields is good as well. But what has been pretty obvious to me over the last month or so is this isn’t a championship team. The Big South is down this year and Winthrop probably is the best team. Tho Hampton did look very good tonight.
We have too much experience to lay an egg like this. I hate to say it but Holland and Hicks were disappointments. Don’t get me wrong, we are going to miss them, but to win a championship they had to play at a higher level. Eke was a nice find, he played hard as hell. But it’d be nice to have someone else to start.
The calls going against us in the first half were a bad omen. Not to mention everything Hampton threw up, went in.
What I’m most pissed about is the big south moving the championship to a neutral site after this year. That’s garbage. I will never go. These teams play their heart out and they deserve to play a championship on their home court. Not at an empty arena with no atmosphere. It makes the regular season better as well. I hope it flops.
Im excited about the NIT but I don’t believe this is one of our best teams to take to it. We have no scoring threat down low. That was the curse of this team. We beat Richmond and another P5 in Northwestern, so there is hope to win a game. Last year was our best team of the Jones era IMO.
