Ok! It's March Madness time. Our trajectory has not been very good the last four games, but anyone can and has won this tournament.
I was hoping that Gardner Webb would end up on Winthrop's side of the bracket, so we'd only have to go through one or the other, but if our game is on, we can beat anyone in the conference. Let's finish out strong and win this thing!

So far so good! I love seeing Djonkam have a such a great first half! There aren't many guys remaining from last year's squad. But big Lew was on the squad that lost to Hampton in the tournament last year so, I'd like to think he remembers that game and is doing everything he can to make sure history doesn't repeat itself. Shaq Jules also had a great first half and continues to be one of my favorite players!

Agree, xc, hopefully this lead will hold up. I certainly remember that game, last one I saw live.

Real solid showing tonight. Shaq was big off the bench. GW/Campbell in a tight one.

Ok, so Campbell it is. They're on one heck of a winning streak. Going to have to have a great game to win this one.

Alright! We rolled our way to the semi's! Let's get back to the finals. Play our game, and we're in. Hopefully it won't take three overtimes tonight. I don't think I could take that!

Well, unless something dramatic happens, i think this one is starting to get out of reach. Still, a fantastic season and I'm proud of our guys! If I had to put my finger on it, I think we lost our mojo after getting beat back to back by Winthrop and our young guys got a reality check that we weren't invincible. We certainly had our challenges, but other than the blemish of losing to Asheville with 4 players missing, I think we kind of felt we could play with anyone in the conference. Winthrop changed that and that bled over into getting swept by Gardner Webb and then we hit a buzz saw tonight with a Campbell team playing extremely well at the right time.
That said, it's been a fantastic season and I think we have a team capable of winning the conference next year and I'm excited about that! Assuming Winthrop wins it all, I wonder if we'll get an NIT invite and if we'd go given covid.

Really proud of these guys. Before the season I figured they may finish 7th-8th in conference but I was wrong. Can’t wait to see what they can do next year. Good game Campbell and good luck. Whoever wins Sunday I hope they represent the Big South well in the NCAAT

Yes, agree totally, we had a heck of a season considering how much firepower we lost. Congrats to the team, and we'll be back stronger next year. I think I read that the NIT is going to be pared way back this year, only at-larges, and I think only 16 teams.
