Tip-off in just 2 days 
FU @ Gardner-Webb (Nov. 5 Season Opener)
Who is going to the game? I’m in.
Me and my +1
Anyone who says money can't buy happiness never had season tickets.
How do we feel about this game? I know we can win, but I do believe Gardner-Webb will be very good this year and certainly gave us all we wanted last year at Timmons (gave national champion Virginia all they wanted too for a half). I hate to put too much pressure on one game, especially in the first game on the road against a good team, but I'm very excited to see how we look without MR.
I think you nailed it. It's a tough game, on the road. We could lose. We could lose on Friday night. But ultimately if we learn what we need to learn and improve from one game to the next these games mean ALMOST nothing.fufanatic wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 10:50 amHow do we feel about this game?

We proved last year that we can have a fantastic early season, get ranking in the T25, and still not get an at-large bid....which is really the only reason why these games would be important.
Heck a couple years ago we lost our opener on the road to Presbyterian but finished 14-4 in the SoCon.....
That being said, I'll be cheering hard for the Dins and disappointed if we don't play to our potential and get saddled with an opening night L

It could go either way. There has to be growing pains without MR. Hopefully the won't be glaring. Like PC said I will be disappointed if we don't get the W Tuesday night. Are we safe to assume the starting lineup will be:
Slawson
Gurley
Mounce
Lyons
Hunter
or maybe
Bothwell
Gurley
Mounce
Lyons
Hunter
Slawson
Gurley
Mounce
Lyons
Hunter
or maybe
Bothwell
Gurley
Mounce
Lyons
Hunter

I will be there plus one.
STARTING LINE UP
I think Tre Clark will start over Slawson or Bothwell. It would not surprise me if Slawson ended up with more minutes than Clark though. Who starts is not always who finishes either.
Look for instant offense off the bench from PUGH.

I am nervous. And cautiously optimistic.
If this team gets better as season goes on, it could be an exciting year once again.
Per his instagram page, Jonny Lawrence will redshirt this year. I like to think Beeker gets minutes down low and Foster backs up Mounce with Kenney putting in some minutes at the back court.
Can't wait...Will certainly be there!
For this game...Lyons, Gurley, Mounce, Slawson, Hunter...Next four...Bothwell, Clark, Foster, Kenney
