$5 to park

Apparently HPU season ticket holders got tickets for free. This game was a home game for HPU but appears on schedule as a neutral. Pep band, cheer and dance teams there, home PA announcer, HPU graphics on video board during time outs, etc

Bad loss. Losing a 15 point lead is a bad loss. Also bad is that I think they are better than we are. I hope they are good. Very good. I don’t know what we have , other than Tate , or if we can compete with the better Sunbelt teams.

HPU does have a strong team, basically returned most key guys from their 27 win team last year + made some quality portal additions. On paper they should easily win big south, could sneak a win in March

Luckily, most of the Sun Belt is really bad this year. Still think we are a top 4 or 5 Sun Belt team. Get a top 4 seed in tournament, get hot, who knows…

Teams across college basketball have played “near-home” games as neutral site contests in an effort to game the NET rankings. Wake hosted Michigan in Greensboro earlier this season and will make the return trip for another “neutral site” game in Detroit next year.

It was neutral in the sense they were not playing on their home court at HPU. If they signed the rent with Greensboro Coliseum that likely control the tickets. I imagine we could have brought out band and cheerleaders if we purchased tickets for them. I originally thought this was a way App was getting a game in the Triad for us Triad area fans, but I guess it was HPU setting this up seeing the success we had last year hosting Gardner Webb. I could be Greensboro Coliseum's new management reaching out to teams and this year HPU got the call to host. It will be curious to see what happens next year if another team plays host, with or without App involved.

Did anyone have trouble watching on ESPN Plus? I think it was an ESPN+ problem as I was able to go through Hulu without problems but I was not able to log into ESPN+ directly.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

It’s been the same ol ball years. Look good for 15 minutes then go dry for what seems like forever.

I had no problems with ESPN+. Watched the whole game that way
