Optimism still reigns for me in the early season and hope to see the 2nd half team that handled JMU versus than what we saw last night. Spiders 73 - ECU 68.

Will be interesting. ECU picked dead last in the AAC according to this review:

Kenpom predicts 76-70 Spiders win.
I think in general terms, we are going to need AJ and Johnston to score a combined 25 per game to be a legit top half of the A10 team. Interested to see what Argabright does in this step up. Like Kevin Anderson, I am thinking if we have a chance to be competitive this year we need to let him play good minutes early, and potentially be a dude by Jan/Feb. Tyne looked good - hopefully can get same shots off and finish at rim still vs. D1 size and athleticism. I am hopeful on him.

Giovanni Emejuru transferred to ECU from Mason and scored 8 pts in each of his games against us and had 8 rebounds in game 1 and 5 rebounds in game 2. Imagine he gets similar numbers on Saturday.
Sounds like ECU only has one primary scoring threat from last year returning, so a rebuilding year. I like the fact that the Spiders are playing at home and expect a win, but imagine it will be fairly close just like the JMU exhibition, another team with size but not much else.

Walz and Beagle also played Emejuru in 2024 when he was at Siena so there should be no secrets as to abilities. It’s interesting he left GMU as he seems to be better than the guys they backfilled him with.
ECU was down one guard, Labeaux, for the opener with an unspecified lower body injury and their one sized wing, Woodard, went out with a knee injury halfway thru the second half and did not return but was on the bike trying to.

Even though we swept ECU that year. Hopefully this year is more like ‘84 or ‘86…
(Yes that would be a miracle)

Good aggression and board crashing from Beagle. Need more of that

Fairly rare to see a player have 4 fouls in the 1st half
