With Northern Kentucky missing their leading scorer, Dantez Walton, the Norse relied on their 2nd leading scorer, Tyler Sharpe, to score 33 of their 50 points. They had trouble with our defense (a normal thing to say this year) and no other Norse player posted double...

UNCG at Vermont, Win 54-53
I knew it was going to be a close game, but the last thing I needed was UNCG on defense for another final shot. This time went our way, though. This game was riddled with intensity. Off the ball, under the rim, end to end. The first half, it felt like every 50/50 play...
UNCG vs NC State, Loss 77-80
Heartbreaking. When you lose to a half-court shot, it's always heartbreaking. But to lose 2 games in a season this way? It's devastating. When Markell Johnson let that ball fly, I knew it was impossible, because it could never happen twice in the same season, right?...
UNCG at Radford, Win 60-58
When you play a road game against a tough opponent, you sometimes do things you don't normally do, because getting the W is more important than following the game plan perfectly. And we eked this game out despite giving Radford every chance to win. We shot a horrid...
UNCG vs Kennesaw St, Win 72-54
FOULS. If there is one word to sum up this game, it's Fouls. The refs controlled this game worse than a corporate twitter account. There was no rhythm to the game, and refs spent half their time raising their shoulders and saying to coaches, "I had to call it." Those...
UNCG vs Georgetown, Win 65-61
I'll be honest. I wasn't sober enough last night to write a post. No matter where we went, everyone around me knew UNCG had beaten Georgetown. I was loud, I was proud, and yes, I was probably obnoxious ... in a nice way. Defense won this game hands down. Defense...
UNCG vs App State, Win 55-41
Once again, defense won this game. Because it sure wasn't offense. We shot 32.8% for the game, 31% from three-point-land, and 33.3% in freethrows. And in that mix, we had FIVE Spartans commit OH-fers with an amazing 0-15 shooting. Our games are getting uglier and...
UNCG vs Montana St, Loss 67-66
I'm not sure what to say about this game you're not already thinking. We played some great basketball ... and we made some dumb errors. We played some great defense ... and we made some dumb fouls. We made a lot of breakthroughs (Isaiah's swagger rejoined the team,...
UNCG vs Tennessee Tech, Win 64-30
Our Defense has to be in the Top 25 of the nation. We have the ability to smother our opponents so much they need oxygen masks on the sideline. Tennessee Tech only scored 12 points in the first half, and 18 in the second. They never had a chance. Coach Miller said...
A Day In The Life of a European Pro
This year marks my second official season as a professional basketball player. I have signed a contract with Cáceres Basketball, in the LEB Gold league in Spain. Cáceres is a nice, calm but vibrant little city in Western Spain close to the Portuguese border, and I...
