[SpaceRaider]

MT game notes and the Belmont game preview indicate this game will be on ESPN+

 

[MTOleBlue]

Let's Go Blue! Hope we have a nice away crowd at the game.

 

[Stonesraider]

We had a hard time beating them with our best teams. Maybe it was a coaching match up problem. Maybe Coach Nick can coach better against a team who fires threes all game.

I have respect for Belmont but it's so irritating when they get going from behind the arc.

 

[FranklinRaider315]

It will be a Belmont beatdown win by 25 over MT.
Windler will light them up.

 

[MTFNBY5]

IIRC Belmont is starting 3 freshman. Of course, Byrd was recruiting to this system while McDevitt was taking left-overs out of necessity.

 

[Stonesraider]

Belmont was one of the few teams that prospered under our 1-3-1. I think it will be different now. Maybe not this year.

 

[Stonesraider]

That corner was where Byrd's teams make their living. He'll have to get past Mcdevitt's long guards in the future.

 

[Noogaraider1]

So no live feed other than ESPN+?

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Not sure what will happen tonight, but our system match up much better with Belmont. This should be a high scoring game.

I just happy with no more hack a thons by MT.

[SpaceRaider]

Apparently Belmont has a double header tonight, so dont be surprised if it doesn't start on time...

[MTOleBlue]

Wonder how many MT fans will be in the stands.

Sidelines:

WHAT WE LEARNED FROM THE BLUE RAIDERS SO FAR THROUGH THE FIRST 2 GAMES

 

[sWiley]

Belmont has a ton of new players on their roster too. This is kind of an unknown game from both squads.

 

[JohnDavidBlue]

Never really impressed with Kermit’s style against Ricks. I don’t think we win but eager to see Nick’s style compare.

 

[SpaceRaider]

 

[sWiley]

Delayed just like you said. How annoying

 

[Stonesraider]

So far so good. Crump is going to be good.

 

[sWiley]

wish i could watch the game - the website i usually use doesn't have the stream up for some reason

 

[Noogaraider1]

Ok...matching their tempo well early.

11-8 MT

 

[BRaiderDave]

No real need for a shot clock with this McDevitt team. What a difference from Kermit's style.

 

[crposton]

Was wondering what would happen with Belmont starting a 6'11" post. Gamble came in the game real fast. Will be interesting to see how this game goes. Need to rebound better.

 

[SpaceRaider]

 

[sWiley]

terrible updates from ESPN

 

[Noogaraider1]

20-13 MT.

Lookin good!

 

[SpaceRaider]

 

[MT01]

No real need for a shot clock with this McDevitt team. What a difference from Kermit's style.

I’m pretty sure Kermit’s head would explode if he had players that just threw the ball at the rim like this.

 

[MT01]

Gamble in the zone

 

[MTBig Blue]

WTF is up with Gamble?! I love it!

 

[JohnDavidBlue]

Gamble ... beast mode.

 

[sWiley]

How are you guys watching?

 

[subkyle]

Anyone have a way to listen on a phone? The app listen live tab takes you to the UK football game, and gives you no option for this game

 

[JohnDavidBlue]
