This year’s bracket included Ohio, Portland, Wright State, Bradley, Texas State, Middle Tennessee State, South Florida, and Princeton. The tournament also had its fair share of NBA prospects. Princeton’s Xavian Lee and Wright State’s Brandon Noel were at the top of that list. It was an intimate environment that provided great fundamental basketball for all in attendance.
Georgia Southern shut Coastal Carolina out in the second half with thirteen unanswered points to win the game 26-6 and spoil Senior Night in Conway. Coastal Carolina must now win its last game of the season on the road against Georgia State, which is 3-8 on the year, to become bowl-eligible. Too many mental mistakes and three interceptions on the night would hinder Coastal from being able to get in any rhythm on offense.
Ultimately, this record is THE record that will never be broken in any future day and age. After all, It is considered a “Pitchers Game” today. Joe DiMaggio of the New York Yankees broke the MLB record for the longest hitting streak in 1941, recording at least one hit in 56 straight games during the Major League Baseball season. DiMaggio’s run eclipsed both the longest multi-season streak, which Willie Keeler also achieved, and the single-season record of 44 games in a row, which Keeler also held since 1897
Jacksonville St Guard Jaron Pierre Jr put up 31 points in a convincing win for the Gamecocks against the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers in Conway, SC. Pierre shot 11 of 19 from the field, including a couple of three-pointers. Pierre would also shoot 7 of 8 from the free throw line in the contest.
Coastal Carolina came into the game with a mindset of putting points on the board and scoring more than ODU. This is the formula for how you win football games outside of winning the turnover battle and winning the TOP (Time Of Possession). One thing is sure: the number of penalties wasn’t on either scouting report, which is a weakness. Coastal Carolina would overcome 15 penalties for 145 yards against ODU.
Coastal Carolina came into the game having won three games in five seasons against Power Conference opponents, the last of which was a victory over Kansas in 2021. Virginia would go into the contest having had a 100-yard receiver in the previous nine games. The day’s story would not be Virginia’s passing yards but its ability to run the football on Coastal.
The Atlanta Falcons receiving corp production hasn’t been up to par for a couple of years now. The Falcons fans hope that will change this year with the addition of three time Pro Bowl quarterback Kirk Cousins. In his career thus far, Cousins has thrown for almost 40,000 yards, all the while piling up 270 TD’s.
Saturdays in Morgantown are a tradition of its own, but when you add a game of this caliber to the mix, the stakes are much higher. It was a star studded atmosphere for what would be the biggest home opener in Morgantown in over twenty years. Fox Big Noon Kickoff would cover the game, the beloved Pat Mcafee would host his show there on Friday.
When it comes to video games, sports fans have been waiting a long time for college football to return to their gaming consoles.
