Saw a piece about the โMarching Bucsโ on NBC Nightly News earlier tonight:
As ETSUโs preview points out, this game is a homecoming for a couple of Bucs - Jaden Seymour (17.8 ppg 6.7 rpg) and Karon Boyd (11.8 ppg 7.7 rpg).
During the 2019 recruiting process, Niners did contact Seymour - a Rivals top 150 player - but never offered. Originally signed with Wichita State, but transferred to ETSU after freshman year.
Never contacted Boyd, who played his freshman year at D-II USC Aiken.
Leading scorer is Quimari Peterson (19.5 ppg). In addition, Bucs starter John Biggs III (9.8 ppg) is familiar to the Niners as he previously played at North Texas and UTSA.
Bucs are 1-1 vs Mecklenburg County D-I so far this season - lost to Davidson 76-70 and beat Queens 82-67.
clt says this is a must win
The only one I can think of is Charleston Southern.
clt says nothing says nautical like eastern tenn
Iโm thinking ECU and Seton Hall - both the Pirates - as well as New Orleans Privateers.
I think Iโll be there with my wife and maybe 200 other die hard, delusional fans. And of course our faithful Event Staff. 
Itโs going to be a tomb today. Hope we can win. ETSU is not a bad team, we are coming off a bad loss. We either will bounce back and hope to win by 10+ or we will crumble and could drop two in a row at home. Iโll be watching from home with a sick baby. Technically, Iโm working today.
Weโre 3.5 point favorites. Whatever. We were 15.5 point favorites vs liu. 
I have four pregame hospitality available. Free just promise youโll use them. Opens at 12:30.
At the game. One of hundreds since 1971. Itโs pathetic in here.
Hope we at least win.
