Furman @ ETSU (Feb. 19)(SoCon Showdown)

[DungeonRealm]

With a win ETSU pretty much locks up first place. Not mathematically but for all reasonable scenarios it’s over. They would have a one game lead over both FU and UNCG and hold the tiebreaker over both so essentially a 2 game lead with 3 to play. The FU/UNCG game next week would be for second place.

Why would ETSU hold the tiebreaker over us with a win tonight? We would have split the season series. Do we know the complete list of tiebreakers?

Because ETSU swept UNCG and we can only split with UNCG

[DungeonRealm]

Anyone else thinking ETSU defense is going to press us tonight?

Yeppers. Only when we have the ball. LOL.

He's asking if we both still wind up with same record, thus refer to my answer

Cold in the early going, down by 8. Early fouls as well. Settle, guys ... Go Dins !!!

[apaladin]

Terrible shot selection so far especially Gurley. Had a layup on his last drive but stopped and missed a turnaround jumper.

[DungeonRealm]

Gurley and Mounce really struggling so far

[apaladin]

Gurley is having an all around bad game and Mounce has not been heard from. Need to keep Clark out of the game right now, we need offense. Looks like we are heading for another sub 30 half. I think we ae now 1-10 from 3.

[DungeonRealm]

We are really stinking it up on offense

[apaladin]

Yep. We had 3 stright chances to take the lead 2 bad turnovers and a bad shot.

[DungeonRealm]

Lyons is bailing us out again, need some other guys to step up

[apaladin]

Outside of Lyons we are 0-10 from 3.

[furpop16]

Sounds like Clark got his bell rung. Unknown availability rest of the game.

[furpop16]

Outside of Lyons we are 0-10 from 3.

And now Lyons has to sit with four fouls.
