Our 3-0 Mountaineers coming off a nail biter win at Louisville face a three-games-in-three-days stretch this weekend. I thought a MINI/MEGAthread would be easier to keep straight than three separate game threads.

I misspoke in the other thread when I said these teams were below us in competition. They're definitely a step down from Louisville but with App at 194, Campbell 193, Kennesaw State 201, and Southeastern Louisiana State 322, at least 2 of 3 are relatively the same strength as App. 2-1 in this stretch would be nice. 3-0 would be incredible.

And the opponent gets weaker, supposedly, as the weekend progresses. This would be the opposite of a regular tournament bracket. Which may be good this time of year.

Tonight's game is as big of a deal as you can have for a November non conference game. I hope turnout is good. This team deserves our support.

I received a notification that they are selling tickets to this games this weekend for $6.10 and if you show our ODU football ticket on Saturday against KSU, you get in free. I tried to buy tickets to tonight's game against Campbell and it's only allowing me to get 2 and I need 4. Is anyone else having this issue? Are they selling the $6.10 tickets at Holmes for the walk up crowd?

The $6 tickets will not be sold at the ticket office. You have to purchase online using the link.

Whats the deal on merch? I was hoping to pick up a bb jersey tonight. Nobody’s selling anything here at Holmes. That strikes mine as kind of low-rent.

They also did not play the National Anthem tonight before the game started.

That's pretty sad.

I’m guessing they did it before the first game.

Not the best of starts, but Campbell hasn’t really taken advantage of our stumbles.

This.

We are stone cold. Our announcers aren't bad but the stats references after 2 or 3 games doesn't mean much.

Our first basket comes with 12:30 left in the half!!

If there was a first game, they certainly didn’t market it.

This.

Considering there was literally no one in here between games except for me and maybe 10 other people, they could have played it again.

What do we have against finding open shots?

Free Throws!

“Oh, no! We suck again!”

Down by 5 at the half. Maybe we’ll have better luck shooting at the other basket.

The struggle is real tonight. Fortunate that Campbell cooled off. Could be down big.
