Just for fun, What Order will they announce the starters in for game one? Cause I think Ben E will Start over Jarrey, I think It'll go Ben E, then Shake, then Semi, Sterling, and Ben M will be the last starter announced.

I like this game.....starting 5 in this order - Shake, Jarrey, Semi, Ben M, Sterling.

Intro video music?? I know it's probably time to move on from this song but it still gives me chills as our intro.....

Read a lil about Gardner-Webb. They are picked to finish 3rd in the Big South. Their best player is center Tyrell Nelson who is only 6'7" but bulky. He averaged 14 & 8 last season. Otherwise, they are a guard heavy team with a PG who was one of the leaders in the nation in steals last season. Shake will need to take care of the ball. They also added a three point snipper in JUCO guard Liam O'Reilly who is from Austin.
