St. Louis is NOT a good team.
Letās hope we can get a big crowd out there Wednesday night and they can feed off the home court!
clt thinks wednesday is a bobble night, right?

You know that we will play better on Wed. People thought that we would play horrible vs. Cincy because of how we played when we went there. We will play awesome on Wednesday. Have faith!

It was Saint Louisā¦most teams play terrible against them. When you can score over 70 against the Billikens, youāve had a pretty darn good night actually. Considering we had never won there, Iāll ecstatic over the win and I donāt care how ugly it was or how poorly some of our guys played. It will be a different story on Wednesday because I expect us to play more like we did in the 2nd half against Houston.
I will go on record and say not only we beat Depaul, but rather handlilyā¦
We are up for big games much more than the St Louisā and ECUās of the world.
I will miss the game as I will be out of town on business, hope it is packed!!!
and you guys pull em thru.
UNC/Virginia is our only real competition, Bobblehead night, 2 for 1 night and two top 30 teams playing for first place in the conference. If we do not sell out this game, we may never sell Halton out again.
I think the outcome of this one lies with the fans. We have a large, electric crowd, we win. We have dead crowd and the players will play dead.
Big home game!!! We must protect our house!
The best we can hope for is the Alabama crowd. not a sellout, but loud as hell.
Is the bobblehead for the first 3000 or all?

Jarvis bobbles to the first 3,000.
With all respect to Jarvis Lang, this game is more important than a bobblehead. All you locals (students and Charlotte area ticket holders) please talk this game up. We need this to be an āeventā night.
I would love to see at leats 7,000 people in Halton for Depaul. If we all do our part this is possible, especially if we are top 25 this week.

But as bad as Saint Louis is, they've got a tough place to play, even when only a handful of people are there. Same with ECU. This year, Cincy only won by 5 at ECU after being up by 20 in the second half, and I think we all remember how the Niners fared there.
With Saint Louis though, their only blowout loss this season was 75-45 at Gonzaga. Last year, Louisville somehow beat them 75-48 at the Savvis Center, but also last year, Arizona only beat them by one there, DePaul only won by 2, the Niners lost by one (with only 45 points), and Marquette lost by 4. DePaul escaped from Saint Louis with a 56-53 win just a week ago. The last time a team scored 83 or more points against Saint Louis was December 3, 2002, when Arizona killed them, 91-58 in Tucson. Iām annoyed that the game went into overtime, but Iām honestly impressed with the offensive effort the team had, and Iām really impressed that they actually managed to finally pull out a win at the Savvis Center.
I know that DePaul is a game that can be lost, but I know that itās also a game that can be won just as easily. Putting up 83 points against Saint Louis, including 70 in regulation, and finally winning there is huge. No matter how good any of the Charlotte teams of the C-USA era have been, none had managed to pull that off until last night. This team can be something special, as Curtis showed last night. Iām much more excited for Wednesday right now than I am worried.

I donāt know how long you have been following college basketball or the Niners, but a win on the road in cusa is always a good win.
Conference play is all about taking care of home court and stealing some on the road. St. Louis is down this year but they are still capable of beating anyone in the conference on any given night.

Weāre waiting until the polls come out Monday so we can add a nice #__ in front of our name(hopefully), but we will be out sometime posting these. The problem is we need permission to post inside of dorms(everything posted has to get stamped otherwise it will get torn down). Maybe talking to somebody in the ticket office to get some official school backing will be enough to get permission to be put up in the dorms.
Anybody living in dorms who could print out a few(it looks fine on low quality black & white, wonāt use up much ink) and post them, it would be really helpful.
As i put earlier, i already have flyers up on the boards around Martin Village, gotta get the word out.
Someone get some tape and post flyers in all the menās bathroom stalls tomorrow in the classroom buildings when theyāre open tomorrow.
did anyone hear the tv guy(jags) say that a lot of niner fans would be at the bobcats game Wednesday, to see rodney white play :o . Was he joking? Any niners fans that are at the bobcats game wednesday night should have their ass kicked!
even our own tv guys donāt promote the program but promote the nba instead. what a joke
I am putting the flyers up all over Squires Hallā¦ I am just waiting to get them approved by my RC. They should be up tommorrowā¦
