Looks like we can expect nothing less than a full-on dogfight this weekend, regardless of who is playing.

Congrats to Wake for locking up an NIT bid last night! I think they thought they were a lock after beating Duke and then proceed to lay a couple of eggs. The thing is, the first two were on the road, where they've been consistently bad all year. After losing two in a row, no way to use complacency ...

Funny how the media is all but crowning JMU as king of everything before the tournament is even played. Couple that with how this Mountaineer squad is getting little mention in the press and even less love. As the sage once observed, a fine line exists between fear and anger. So let the pundits pile...

If we didn't have the opportunity here to play "I'm right & you're wrong", what would we talk about until August?

Good thing we have the SBC tourney & App Baseball ramping up.

Many of these mid-level teams in larger conferences receive NCAA bids for one reason: their fanbases. Everyone loves a potential Cinderella story, but teams with large fanbases get more butts in seats and eyes on TV advertisements.

Does not the word quadrant imply equal sizes? It seems to mean each quadrant is 1/4 of the whole. They could at least use a more accurate name, such as "A section of the list of teams that has been designed to keep the mid-majors out and the monied schools with resources and every other advantage I...

In my opinion, no athletics department should be allowed to just take on debt without showing a real plan for servicing that debt.

Seriously? I mean, if the Federal government can do it...why can't Appalachian State?

Congrats to the honorees!

For the players who felt shafted, it's just more motivation to right some wrongs before the tournament ends.

Sources tell me that the Chancellor could retire this year. I think she has done an outstanding job pushing the University forward across the board but if you think otherwise it’s ok , and I don’t care. I am concerned about her successor and the likelihood of someone less willing to stand up to the...

UVA about to take another blowout loss. I'm biased but we can beat them by 10 at least. If they remain a high seeded tournament team something is wrong. I realized they were playing Duke inside that hellscape to visiting teams known as Cameron Indoor, but the Hoo’s were plain awful today. Ugly bask...

Gillin has done a lot of good for App during his time on the mountain. So the cat’s earned a payday and a bigger gig, if one comes around.

That said, getting some fresh blood in the AD’s office wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing.

To put a bow on this, I recognize that everyone here has different feelings about the postgame celebration. First, props to the Mothership for televising the festivities. I can’t recall seeing many televised celebrations after teams win the regular season crown. So ESPN cutting the broadcast right a...

App is in a really good place as we look forward to Pensacola: 1. Team is peaking at the right time 2. Plenty of scoring weapons 3. Stifling defense 4. No divas, no drama 4. Team is relatively healthy 5. Players are all-in on Kerns’ system 6. Kerns: exceptional HC & a great staff Finally, what makes...

26 wins.
Undefeated at home.
SBC Regular Season Champions.

MASSIVE props to our players, Coach Kerns and his amazing staff!

Regardless of what happens in Pensacola, this has been a magical season…one for the ages, friends.

Can’t hit a layup, yet the kids are still putting on a clinic tonight.

BTW, App shooting 100% from the charity stripe so far.

Just sayin’…

I really enjoyed the human interest piece ESPN ran at halftime spotlighting the team, Coach Kerns and #takethestairs.

Wow gonna be a good crowd...just checked tix bc saw a post looking for 4...sales increased significantly since last night

Let’s hope NCDOT keeps the roads nice & salty in anticipation of possible freezing rain later in the day.

ODU was extremely productive shooting the three last night. Given how effective StAte is from the arc, I’m a little itchy about tmrw night.

Outstanding effort from App! One of the best full-game performances we’ve seen this season. Glad to be at Holmes for this one. Even as App won big, kudos to ODU. Following an emotional week and getting pummeled by the Mountaineers early on, there was no quit in the Monarchs. App’s defense was solid,...
