I have cared since 1990 when I was a freshman there. I can't speak for anyone else individually. I have seen some good times and also more than my share of bad ones. I guess I've really earned seeing some success. But yeah, there's been a lot more interest in the team since like 2010 when we earned our first NCAA trip.People just like winners more than losers...a human nature thing I guess. By the way, do you remember Keith "Mister" Jennings?

I've been to the BJ arena multiple times and there was never a crowd close to what there was tonight.

Yet another year of this Groundhog Day of a basketball program. Sad to see such a waste of opportunity. As painful as it is to tear it down and rebuild, it is the only way we'll ever have the program we can be proud of. Until that happens, apathy and low attendance will prevail.

Same crap. We wait till the end to press and speed up the game.

I dont think a coaching change would result in a downward fall, i would expect a new coach to take our talent next year and compete for the conference championship.

I agree 100%.

If you guys had pressed the whole game there's no way in the world we would have won.

Bartow didn't come out! Sent an assistant.

Why does Bartow always wait to press? His coaching is like clockwork. Waits till 5-6 minutes in the second half to press when down. If up, slows it down around 6 minutes.

Speaking of Bolen, what would people think of having him take over the team? He was ultra successful as a head coach and his influence when Bartow has allowed it seems to have a positive impact on the team.

I would like to see Bolen given a chance.

I could handle him as long as the contract was favorable to the university (not too long or for crazy money). If they were thinking that way, i would rather them make a change mid season to give him a chance to impress the fanbase.

Valiant comeback, but we dug ourselves too much in a whole. I'm proud of our guys.

What happened with Bartow and Wofford's coach at the end?

Out rebounded 38-25. Out rebounded on the offensive end 13-5, (ETSU's leading rebounder only had 4) outscored in the paint 36-24. Second chance points Wofford 15-ETSU 4.

5 guards folks, 5 guards.

Unacceptable. Entire state of the program is unacceptable.

The old cliche' "It is what it is" seems to sum it up. Nobody seems to want to invigorate this program.

Of course the stream quit right then. I'd love to know. Switched to the radio and those announcers didn't really explain it well.

One of Woffords players got in our huddle, and I guessed Bartow shoved him out, drawing the ire of Woffords coach. An F Bomb Fest ensued and Ts were given. This is my understanding.

I watched the issue with Bartow play out in front of me. While Wofford was shooting free throws, Bartow called Rembert over and a Wofford player came along with him. When Bartow tried to get close to Rembert to talk the Wofford player got closer. Bartow grabbed Rembert by the jersey to pull him even closer and took his forearm and shoved the Wofford player away.
Bartow looked like a child that wasn't getting his way. I would have been upset too if I was the Wofford coach when Bartow shoved his player. Just no excuse for that kind of behavior by MuBar.
