My wife and I are gonna make the trek down to see this one. Any other Dunkin Dawg fans gonna be in attendance with us?
I'll be there with my wife and daughter. Go Dawgs!
2 couples from North Louisiana planning on game at ECU on Thursday night, probably will visit the Outer Banks Friday and Saturday morning, and then on to Norfolk for the ODU game on Saturday night. We'll be the ones in blue.
We need some good weather while we're there. I would like at least 50 degrees without any precipitation.
Driving down to ECU game from Richmond, with my 11 year old grandson and two ECU grads from church. My grandson and I will be in blue. Hope we are the "jovial" ones in the car driving back on Friday.
Has anybody bought tickets yet? Any particular section that I should keep an eye out for?
Gauging by all of our away games, Tech fans sit behind the team's bench.Quote:

Go Dawg!
Anyone thinking that Appleby will dress out tonight?
Maybe, time is running out to get him back in the lineup and have him in any type of shape to contribute anything during the tourney
I agree.... He needs to get some good minutes in now, if he is going to be in shape for the tournament.Quote:

Appleby on twitter yesterday said that he is "moving better and better everyday, and its only a matter of time" so hopefully you guys Middle Tenn game is a correct assumption.
C-USA scores so far....
Middle Tennessee 56 @Marshall 53 FINAL (MT 11-2 Marshall 3-10)
UAB 64 @Charlotte 62 FINAL (UAB 6-7 Charlotte 5-8)
Tulsa 77 @FIU 65 FINAL (Tulsa 10-3 FIU 5-8)
@ECU 67 Rice 55 FINAL (ECU 4-9 Rice 2-11)
UTEP 38 @USM 31 HALF (CBSSN)
15:32 media timeout...ODU 7-4
JJ 2nd foul at 12:07
10:30 media timeout..ODU 13-8
Another cold start on offense.
We are something like 3-17 from the field. We are also letting them get way too many offensive rebounds early.
Hamilton now 1-20 from 3-pt range in his last 7 games...
7:50 media timeout...ODU 17-12
Speedy has to leave with a banged-up left knee
@USM 51 UTEP 49 12:29 left
Hamilton broke his 1-20 slump by draining a 3!
Odu 23-20
ODU timeout #1 at 4:26...ODU 23-20
3:52 media timeout...still 23-20 ODU
@USM 54 UTEP 51 11:29 left
Tech timeout #1 at 3:27...ODU 26-20
Speedy back in....
Tech on a run....ODU 26-24...1:51 left
First Tech lead 27-26 at 1:43
Tech 27 - ODU 26. Yes!
HALF...tied 30-30
@USM 70 UTEP 64 3:02 left
@FAU 41 North Texas 36 HALF
]
Are we sure we want USM to win? Why is USM wearing yellow/dark? at home?
Any possibility of Tech getting at least a share of the C-USA regular season title depends on Southern Miss beating UTEP tonight.Quote:

What I was thinking. We need that the most. Just last week it seemed like a lock.Quote:

ODU timeout #2 and full timeout at 16:12...Tech 43-34
14:56 media timeout...Tech 43-38
11:53 media timeout...Tech 45-41
Because USM and UTEP wanted to make C-USA look like the SWAC wearing those hideous jerseys on national TV.Quote:

ODU timeout #3 at 5:18...still tied 51-51
Kenyon big 3 to make it 55-51
Tech timeout #3 at 4:51
Three-on with a dagger of a 3!
IMO...Kenyon should be all conference this year. Just the best 6th man in the league.
Another missed layup by Massey.
Dawgs up by 8 now.
ODU timeout at 3:29...Tech 59-51
and that includes Massey blowing one layup in this run
Tech was on a 10-0 run prior to that ODU score.
J.J. taking up some slack

Great free-throw shooting! Proud of the Dawgs!
Tech now tied with UTEP, Southern Miss, and Tulsa at 10-3 in conference play, one game behind Middle Tennessee State. Tech plays MTSU and Tulsa plays UTEP on Thursday.
Tech officially clinches at least a 1st-round bye in the C-USA Tournament.
Tough win for the Dawgs! Thank god for Three-yon!
Bad shooting. Rough defense. But we continued to push the ball inside which led to free throws, and guess what? We nailed them! Awesome win guys.
Middle Tennessee game is going to be huge. Good win though. It would be great to see Appleby on the floor Thursday.
Picked a good game to shoot well from the free throw line. Hold the opponent under 70 and this team will usually win. Thursday's loss took a little luster of the MTSU game, but it is still huge. We win, and there will be a 4 way tie for first. UTEP and Tulsa play the same night so one of them will have 4 losses.
North Texas 78 @FAU 76 FINAL
@Tulane 68 UTSA 56 FINAL
C-USA Standings
Middle Tennessee 11-2
USM 10-3
UTEP 10-3
Tech 10-3

Charlotte 5-8
FAU 5-8
North Texas 5-8
xFIU 5-8
UTSA 4-9

Marshall 3-10
Rice 2-11
82.4% FT shooting for the game. That is how you close out a win when you aren't playing particularly great.Quote:

ATT internet and PHONE off all day. Finally got on but saw on TV (COX 2133) that tech had won. I want a phone and Internet I can count on. Very frustrating night. Maybe I get to watch the next game. Just glad that Tech still has a chance to finish on top.
I will be there!!
Winning on the road in conference in college basketball in February is the toughest thing in sports -
Home team wins at an 80% clip
Regular season overall its 70%
.....let's hope Middle Tennessee gets your memo.......Quote:

ODU had a surprising good venue. There was a Tech powwow in my section after the game. We've got to do better organizing Tech fans in the northeast region of the US now that we are playing games up here. Yes I feel responsible to pull my own weight.
It was also a good feeling when fans throw their hands up an say "Tech is just too much for us" ;)
Remaining schedules for the top 5....Quote:

Lazy pass. Man that's a tough way to lose a game!
Nice job Dunkin Dawgs!
Now to take care of business at home for Sr. night and last game at home for the season, and playing for a possible share of the title in CUSA!
It's ALL GOOD!
Yep... but an awesome way to win a game...Quote:

With the clear separation of the Top 5 and the Top 5 looking equal to each other, we really need to finish with a Top 3 seed.Quote:

Middle TN has the longest winning streak in C-USA at 9 straight W's.
And UK hits the game winner against LSU with 3 sec remaining in OT...

They may be the best team in the conference, they are definitely playing the best right nowQuote:
