This thread is for any news, game discussion, etc for men's and women's basketball this season.

RIP Den

So wouldn't this be better used on the ECU forum here?

The Den or The Basketball Den. You can really be creative with his name, which I am not.

Let's dedicate the court too.

Dickerson Court in Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum

Okay I'm totally kidding on that one

Maybe the Dickerson Soccer Complex or something though?

Hopefully all the drama from last year is over and done with.

Inactive report: Erin Straughn has a leg injury and may be out the entire season (likely will be redshirted) while Miguel Paul is suspended for 2 games.

I know ECU basketball fans take lots of garbage, and I in no way intend this to be trash talk, but is beating a D3 by 22 considered a good result?

Hmmm first game of the year against someone who isn't a part of your practices..... lots of new players....


I personally thought we should have cracked 100 on these guys but considering we are learning to play without Morrow and were incorporating a lot of new guys I think 22 is ok.

Yea, I hear you. You never know what can happen the first few weeks of bball season. If you were there, how did the bigs look? I'm sure y'alls guards will be fine.

Just took a peak at the box score, what are you guys feeding Maurice Kemp? Wow! good numbers all the way around. Richmond and Guillmette had solid numbers as well. Did Paul not play? If that's the case, I understand why this game was closer than I thought it would be. He's a good player.

Kemp is legit.

Guillmette is a solid frosh.

Neither Paul nor Straughn played. I heard about some injuries also.

Paul didn't play, supended 2-5 games.

Zengardi (not sure on spelling) was really solid until he got hurt, ankle. Richmond is going to be good.

We played alot of different rotations tonight, had a few first mistakes, but bad. Lebo wanted better, but that what you want him to say. But, Kemp is picking right up where he left off. Funny to talk to hom afyer the game, he said he made mistakes and should've done better which good to here.

Peter Torlak was the other injury, elbow to the face, 3 stitches needed.

And we were down two Guards plus the injury bug that hit in the middle of the game...

Paul suspended, Straughn highly unlikely to play this year. Luckly he has a redshirt year we can use.
