Sorry CG, that was a weak GAME DAY! thread. Need something more official....

Hahahaha.

Well. I was waiting for either you or SN08 to drop some game day analysis. Just getting the natives fired up and ready.

Take it away!!!

Just woke up and about to check out the Inner Harbor and such. No preview coming from me....already posted one earlier in the week!

I hope after a close win and an overtime win, Keatts has a plan for these guys. I know CoC plays nasty defense and rebounds, but our big men have got to figure out how to hit two foot layups(Gettys/Bryan).

Out first win at Trask is when it was taking one of our players going off to win, and Flemmings had 25, and our 4/5 spot scored exactly 9 points.

Second win took OT, and our 4/5 spot scored exactly 5 points. RIDICULOUS.

We need to play with the toughness we did against Towson. Sherwood didn't even score in the first two games, but with his height, we need him in the game for defense, rebounding and scoring. Marcus Bryan didn't play in the first game, but he went only 1-6 in the second game, although he did snag 8 rebounds. Those two will be the difference in this game.

I predict we come out with the toughness of the Towson game and win this one 68-56. CoC should be tired after a late game and they don't have the bench to take us.

Keatts is 5-0 against Charleston. We've won ugly in 2-3 of those contests, and there's nothing wrong with that. If this team still had Barry, they'd be a top 3-4 team in this league right now.

In the last couple games, Marcus Bryan really turned it on. Hope to see that trend continue during the tournament. When he's playing in a dominant fashion it really opens up more options with lineups and game management for Keatts. For us to be the eventual champion, MB must give us quality minutes.

They're going to be quite good next year.

The combination of Bryan/Sherwood is one we need to defend and produce from here out. They had 28 points and 9 rebounds against Towson, and really added some size and toughness to the 4/5 spot for us. Gettys added 8 points and 4 rebounds as well as some tough defense. Easily our best post production in CAA play. Our post game has been incredibly weak all year. If they can pick it up like the Towson game, we'll be hard to beat.

Bottom line is its ok to win ugly tonight if needed. An easy win won't mean a whole lot more than a tough win. After all, we beat the Cougars by 26 in the Quarterfinals last year only to fall the next round against Northeastern.

I agree with 82 that our post play will likely be the biggest factor. Not only for tonight but the whole tournament. We know one way or the other, between Flemmings, Ingram, Talley, Ponder and Bryce, that the guard play will be there for us.

Close games are the worst on fans...

Gettys playing big with a few boards to his name already!

Not a great start

I was about to say the same. He looks like the only one with a pulse.

Bryan is a beast tonight. Can't keep giving up open threes

Gotta make some FTs too!

Why the freak do we foul so stinking much? Seems like every possession.

Foul calls are ridiculous that was all ball
