Very nice win guys. We looked really good out there.

Love the energy with this team, they have a lot more fun than last years group and it shows, great win guys, everyone had solid performances!

So good to spank EZU after losing to them twice last year!

He lowkey looks like him a little.

This too haha

Great win. Didn't take their foot of in the last part of the game. This team has some really good pieces. I hope they keep playing this way.

So nice to finally have some depth. I like the youth. Fields and Imo and Jenkins still haven’t played that much college basketball at all. Not enough minutes to go around. Love seeing J Wade and of course he contributed. Guy is a winner. Wish they could find some more minutes for Smith, I like his game.

That's what we expect ODU to do at home. Keep pushing forward.

Long and Stanley are absolute studs. Just need to keep them out of foul trouble. Jenkins and Scott-Grayson are electric.

And lots of solid players around those guys. Williams and Fields, in particular, have been a very pleasant surprise.

I have to say, though, that I was surprised that Williams did not get a flagrant foul called on him for taking out the guy that took out Jenkins.

Looking after his guy so i would've been fine with it but it definitely should've been a foul when Jenkins got knocked down. Jenkins can't help that he mossed him for the ball.

I didn't think it was intentional by Williams

I also think Jenkins looks like Morant....I didn't want to get too crazy though :) Is he the best in-game dunker we have had in years? Ross?

I thought TSG had a much bigger impact than his score line showed.

Our bigs play so hard, defend, and rebound.

You would think we would struggle with 1 three pointer but we pretty much dominated them in the paint with drives and no reason to kick out.

Stanley had foul trouble in the first and he came out in the 2nd half and put it away.

The only thing I can complain about is they didn't show Dancing Man on the video board one time. Very disappointing.

ECU looked much worse than I expected. They got killed by transfers but the results so far this year were decent. Other than Small, they really didn't have anyone play well

Impressive.

This team is a lot of fun. Great team win tonight. Also, surprised no one mentioned it yet but that lady sitting courtside arguing with the ref and flicking him off as he walked away was a pretty funny moment.

I watched that sequence as well and was quite confused. Any one have any thoughts or insight as to what was happening/what got her all upset? (Outside of likely being sauced up)

It must have been the same lady that sits behind me at the football games. She finally got within earshot of the refs.

I sit a few rows behind them and I believe the ref was telling her she was either on the court or got too close to being on the court when they all stood up for whatever it was that happened right in front of them. I think it was just a knee jerk reaction from the ref and she wasn’t taking it without saying her peace. I saw the ref joking about it with court side fans on the other end a minute later.

That happened in the aftermath of the uncalled hard foul on Jenkins (which would have been a flagged pass-interference call if it had happened on the football field), followed immediately by the hard Williams foul in retaliation.

I have only one time sat court side - - it was at the old field house. I didn’t much enjoy it. It is much easier to follow the game from ten or more rows back.

That was fun to watch. We absolutely bullied them. This team is going to be really good, as the bigs are improving.

Need everyone to understand what we are up against on Tuesday. CofC dominated Davidson, and beat VT in the championship of that tournament we played in. Their only loss was to UNC, in a game where they were extremely competitive. They just beat Kent State, who went on the road and had a shot to beat Houston. This is no joke. Tuesday is going to be really tough.
