Nothing would make me happier than for the team to get out to an early lead before applying their patented sleeper hold on UNCG. It would be a lot easier on my nerves.

Bucs. Spartans. 21,000 empty seats. It's going to be a really tough game but when the dust settles tomorrow night, ETSU leaves undefeated and dozens of Greensboro fans will head home disappointed.

RE: Official Game Thread: @ UNC-Greensboro
I think we all recognize that UNCG is our biggest threat in the conference. We beat them by 10 at home, but that was with Dickey getting 2 very quick fouls which essentially negated his impact on the game, and with Long playing tremendous defense on Alonso.

To me, much of this game rides on the effectiveness of Jurkin (who has been struggling the 2nd half of the season and seems to be close to being replaced in the starting lineup) and Long's availability and effectiveness.

I expect a dogfight, but so far our team has played well in the big games. With the regular season championship basically on the line with this game, I hope we can come out and pull off the win.

Dickey is such a matchup nightmare. Would be great to get him in early foul trouble again

I hope Long can play, his defense will be needed. As for a Dickey getting in foul trouble again, I wouldn't count on it, especially with the game being in Greensboro.

Well, I know Makinde London isn't the best defender in the world, but maybe he can help out a little there.

Kuiper speaking of tonight's game in the Greensboro News and Record.

“It’s going to be fun to play this one,” UNCG senior Jordy Kuiper said. “We’ve got to make them realize they’re not going to go undefeated in the SoCon. We can’t let that happen. They’ve got to know what it’s like to lose a game before we get to the tournament in Asheville.”

Our coaches need to put that quote up in the locker room.

RE: Official Game Thread: @ UNC-Greensboro
I had these guys pegged as THE most troublesome matchup for the Bucs since preseason. They’ve got the biggest front court in the SoCon, a great relentless perimeter scorer in Francis Alonso, an unsung swing man in 6-6 Marvin Smith.

Most of all, they’ve got a defense to rival the Bucs. The can play the grind ‘em out game, getting stops to gradually build an offensive run. You’ve really got to work to find a decent shot. They like a deliberate tempo, using the half strength press after every made basket to slow down the opposition. And they don’t quit. They can take a punch, weather the run and make a comeback, led by a stifling defense.

The Bucs carry the edge in most statistical categories in conference – these are the 2 best defenses in the SoCon, but with the clear edge to ETSU. The Bucs hold opponents to a low of 62.4 while UNCG is second at 64.4. But UNCG benefits in this category by playing a more deliberate tempo. ETSU is 1st in FG% defense at .376, while UNCG is 2nd at .420. In 3 pt% defense there is a wider gap with ETSU 1st at .293 and UNCG 5th at .355. But UNCG is 2nd only to ETSU in 3’s per game allowed with 7.3 to ETSU’s 6.3 per game. It’s not easy to get a 3 off against them.

Lots of guys will fire up a 3 for the Spartans – Alonso and Marvin Smith are most likely to shoot, but front court players Jordy Kuiper, Kyrin Galloway and especially Garrett Collins like to step back and fire. They need to be guarded.

One way in which defense has slipped for the Bucs is the change from an excellent +3.62 turnover margin OOC to a -0.77 in the SoCon. ETSU now grabs 6.8 steals, compared to 8.8 OOC. So while the Bucs continue to make scores hard to come by, they don’t get as many turnovers or steals. UNCG has a turnover margin of +0.83 and grabs 6.8 steals.

The Bucs have improved their rebounding to the point that even in their strongest statistical category, UNCG has only a slight edge: rebound margin of 7.2 to 6.7. Spartans are 1st, barely ahead of Mercer with 7.1 and ETSU close behind at 6.7. Next best is Wofford way back at 2.9.

There is no question that offense has improved for ETSU. They lead the conference in FG% with .509 to a 7th place .440 for UNCG. The Bucs are a close second to Wofford in 3pt% with .396 to the Terriers’ .399, while UNCG lags at .344. But ETSU makes fewer 3’s per game than most teams, 8.15 per game to UNCG’s 9.0 per game.

Spartans are 13-1 at home, losing only to UNC Asheville 60-67. Bucs are 10-3 on the road.

This is a classic test for the Bucs. It’s been a long conference, everybody’s feeling it . You’re at the other guy’s place and you know they match up well against you. So we’ll find out a little about being ready to take care of business, and which team comes ready to really grind it out for 40 minutes.

I’d bet on the Bucs in a very close one.

I think ETSU will either face their first SoCon loss, or if they do pull off a win, it's going to be close.
