High Point in Hickory

They come in at 8-2 scoring a lot of points. Two million dollar roster plus or minus. Doesn’t seem like a level playing field but if we can shoot at a good percentage….?

We’ve already endured Embarrassing beat downs by Leon and Merkel. It can’t get worse today, unless we don’t score any points.

High Point fans are either 18-23 years old or over 70 years old. There's no in between.

I don’t know why but I associate HPU as like a rich UNCC.

Refs are letting them play down low.

Up 34-33 at the half. Probably should be up four, but it’s AppState basketball, so there is nothing easy this side of Virginia-Lynchburg.

Can’t hit free throws, can’t grab rebounds, makes bad fouls

Wilson is such a frustrating player. Can look like he's fulfilling all his potential at ECU then looks lost at other times.

Hard to win when the other team gets up 15 more shots than us.
