Belmont-ETSU first impressions
Although Belmont won I'll be honest and say they got a steal. ETSU was definitely more physical, drew more fouls, and played better defense throughout the game. BU had to turn on the 3-pt shots there at the end to steal the win.

I gotta give credit to Pigram and Tiggs from ETSU, those guys can PLAY. We had absolutely no answer for Tiggs and Pigram was off-shot until late second half where he got a good streak going. I'm sure all you ETSU guys already know this but those guys are special and they'll be the keys factors for the remainder of your season. I'm definitely looking forward to the second match-up between these two teams and would definitely not be surprised to see a rematch in the championship game this year:)

Anyone else wanna throw out some comments?

RE: Belmont-ETSU first impressions
Congratulations on your win. I think you guys have our number. We played hard tonight and shot extremely well, but in the end--a very familiar script--you guys made the plays down the stretch. I don't know if you are the best team in the conference, but you are without question the best coached team in the conference.

Definitely agree with you there. We are not the best team by any means but good coaching makes a huge impact:)

You are very well coached and last night was frustraiting. ETSU still hasn't put it together yet, if we do we could be really dangerous.


Belmont deserved the win last night, we collapsed and they didn't.


I will say of the teams we've faced in the A-sun so far, Belmont is by far the superior.

I've always been impressed with Belmont's coaching dating back to when you guys first joined the Atlantic Sun. I remember the first time UCF played you guys at the old UCF Arena. Your players were very fundamentally sound and played with a lot of discipline.

Much more intelligent comments than those made by some of your fans at the game. Also, if you know anyone in the concessions tell them that half-filling a drink and charging four dollars for it while a cute gesture, is something that's done at the high school level. It's kind of sad when you have to brag on a Belmont fan on a messageboard, but the ones you met face to face were lacking in class.

Sorry you had a bad experience my friend. I know our fans can be obnoxious, but each school has people that do that. I work for our athletics dept. and at the A-Sun championship last year our cheerleaders and pep band were harassed endlessly by ETSU fans and a bunch of your students came over to sit in our student section just to be jerks. But anyways, bad sportsmanship whether it be from players or fans is never acceptable in my book, so next time you come to Belmont and your drink is half full, find me (I'm the tall guy with the black hair who sits either behind the cheerleaders or next to the pep band ) and I'll go get you a full drink:) Good luck against Lipscomb tonight!
