Starting this one early as I’ll be at the game tomorrow. I live an hour south of Nashville, heading up mid afternoon! If anyone is around and wants to meet up for a drink etc let me know! I went to the curb events center last year, and despite us getting wrecked it was a great time! Belmont is on a 3 game winning streak beating UIC, SIU, and the Sycamores. Almost certainly gonna be high scoring, if we make 3s and play a little D we’ll give ourselves a chance !

Concur it should be a wide open high scoring game, unless our cold shooting is contagious.
Belmont D is rancid, must contain their point guard Whitt. He's outstanding. Our matchup with Pierre will difficult as well, very talented scorer. I think Coop has a huge game. This game is for our taking and I do think we have a completely different team show up Tuesday.
Really. This team needs to get to the line again. That's the bread and butter. Force some fouls and take your free points.
Valpo bounces back with a true quality road win:

Feels like a potentially very pivotal game. I can't expect to go into Belmont and leave with a win, but it's not impossible. Win this and the path to an at or above .500 season becomes much easier. I'll be optimistic...
