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.
