A separate thread for the game.

Betting odds have it Even. Like the Monmouth/Hampton game yesterday, this will come down to who wants it more. The talent is pretty even. I hope we bring it today.

I don't like the match up. We lost by a bunch at Elon and this is not a home game for us. I hope the boys can win it on neutral hardwood. I expect a decent crowd.

Line has moved two points towards Elon. Bettors don’t like the Tribe.

Hope we show up and get one today, never fun to go one and done in the tourney. Go Tribe!

Interesting starting lineup. Ayesa two for two so far.

Neither team shooting particularly well. Probably still getting used to the shooting backdrops.

Ayesa!!!

Ayesa and Karasinski, 6 of 9. The rest of the team, 2 of 10.

Case is having a good day on offense today.

Elon has hit 6 of their last 7 shots. 15-9 run.

Even though we’re missing a few make-able shots inside, we have a much better offensive flow, similar to the last few games.

While Collier and Wight may very well be 2 of our top 5 players individually, it’s clear that our best offense does not include both on the floor at the same time.

The team definitely looks like they don't want to end the season today. Some great hustling out there across the board.

Nice first half - keep it going! Happy for Ayesa!

Only made 2 of our last 10 shots, but that crashing the boards (9 offensive rebounds) and a solid last shot, send us into the locker room, feeling good.

I think that we all wish the play in the first half would have been more evident through out the season.

Let’s see if we can cope with Elon’s halftime adjustments.

GO TRIBE!!!

We actually scored at the end of the half for once. Anything is possible!

You lead 34-27 at halftime, and that is with Wight, Nelson, and Milkereit combining to shoot field goals 0-9. Ayesa scored 14, and Wight had 9 rebounds. You committed only 4 turnovers, but each team had 6 points off turnovers. Sam Sherry had 10 points and 8 rebounds. Rookie of the Year Max Mackinnon did not do much, and Torrence Watson shot 0-5.

First 5 minutes is, as always, crucial. Gotta handle their adjustments and get some scoring early.

Ayesa, 7 for 11, with 20 points.

He just shot that one from Maryland

I worry that he’ll start to tire. I hope we have a plan for if that happens.
