Friday night, 9:57 p.m. tip on TNT network. No TV, you can go to "NCAA March Madness Live" or < cbssports.com > on your device and figure out a way to watch the game.
I'm optimistic but the fact that lots of "experts" are picking Winthrop makes me a bit apprehensive. I think that this game is winnable if Burns can get his 12-14 points and our guys shoot their normal ~36% from 3. Chandler hitting his average without trying to force the ball on drives to the hoop too much will also help a bunch. Go Eagles!
The game preceding ours on TNT is North Texas vs Purdue, so we can get a preview of our next opponent (fingers crossed, knock on wood).
Anyone see Texas Southern take down Mount St. Mary's? The "Special Assistant to the Head Coach" for TXSO is none other than Randy Peele. Good for him. He was no Gregg Marshall or Pat Kelsey but he did an OK job holding down the fort between the 2 big name coaches.

I hope we will still be playing defense like we did in the Big South tourney. If that happens Nova better watch out.

Oh well, we tried. Even though our guys were able to briefly take a lead late in the first half it never really felt to me like we were in the game. We can beat the big boys but it would take all the pieces to come together perfectly and that didn't happen this time. Thank you Eagles for a memorable season.
I'm not up on the NCAA rules concerning seniors and eligibility with the COVID pandemic, but I'd be happy for Chuck, Adonis, and Chandler to come back if possible. I'm sure Kelsey's got that under control. Hopefully Kelsey will stick around for another season but it wouldn't be a big shock if he were offered and accepted a new job. Not sure what the rest of the BSC looks like but I can see us being very competitive next year.
I'm looking forward to next season and traveling to some away games, as well as home season tickets and Eagle Club hospitality. I didn't realize how much I'd miss it till it was gone this year.
Thank you Dave and Mike for the radio coverage on 104.1 FM. Thank you ESPN for televising all the games on your platforms, even though you charge me $6/month. Well worth it, especially since ESPN will have the NHL next year.
Don't know if I'm looking forward to the tournament being in Charlotte next year, but if the BSC thinks it's a good thing for the league I'll defer to their judgment and expertise.
Thank you admin for keeping up the site; I hope you are able to continue. Hopefully in the future we'll get more participation and maybe some of the old-timers will come back. I can't believe they don't care about Winthrop anymore. AMF! (Adios--My Friends) We'll check in during the year to see if anyone has any tidbits of information.
Go Eagles!
