Auspicious start. 9-4 at first timeout.

Up 23-17, but Ced with 2 fouls on the bench. We aren't going to hold up without him. Dylan, Ponder and Spruill scoring a bit.

31-24 Hawks. Playing inspired ball. Hope that can stay in it for a bit longer.

Heck, Bill. This doesn't sound "flukely" to me at all. The longer they hang in, the more I like their chances of conditioning and confidence really kicking in.

Hawks up 4 at the break but Dylan sprain his ankle. This program can never get a break.

Sherwood's ankle injury at the end of the half is bed news.

RE: ODU Game Thread
You're right 70's, it didn't sound like a fluke. That zone surprised them and me. I was wondering if he would do it and he did. You can't just let their guards kill you off the dribble because they are good. Ponder is good too like that.

But, MAN our bench is short. One good thing, Cedric Williams can't be tired at this point...

Win or lose, Dylan's performance has been awesome.

Hawks suddenly down 5. Pugh with the dreaded corner 3 miss and the run out.

Tale of two halves. Now they can't miss, are grabbing all the rebounds, and we can't score. What's different?

ODU making absolutely every shot now. Hawks down 13. Has Big Ced scored tonight?

Outrebounded 20-6 in the second half. Can't win like that.

15- 7 assists as well. Now we're losing in all phases of the game. Our lack of discipline from last year is rearing it's head.

Seriously, our frontcourt has been "under the radar". Sherwood points have come from way outside. In the paint, we have been underwhelming.

The 2 freshmen were freshmen tonight and Big Ced was doubled every time down the way it sounds. Got to have a backup plan, if one exists. Down big now but zero offense now.

Might as well put Malik in there now to get his feet wet.

RE: ODU Game Thread
The Hawks are going to need to get 15 and 8 from Big Ced to win games. And, they are going to need Pugh and Talley to grow up quick and start doing their thing. Jackson, Spruill, Ponder and Sherwood played pretty well but they needed help. We definitely needed more from Gettys as well.
ODU is very, very good however and deserve credit. They are much improved this year! Freeman and Arledge are proven very good players and you add them to 4 returners. Wow. They have a very good chance in CUSA this year.

Having been at the game, Keatts had a winning strategy. UNCW just didn't have the bench to keep up the tempo and pressure. The zone and defensive pressure had your team in charge for 25 minutes. Keatts just needs more depth. Overall, I think you guys made the right hire. He has the team playing an exciting brand of basketball. Good luck the rest of the way.
