During the summer of 2008, ESPN.com released what it called the nation’s “Prestige Ranking,” which attempts to rank the most prestigious programs in the country based on several categories such as NCAA and NIT appearances, conference championships, 20-win seasons and All-America players. ESPN used just the modern era – which it described as 1984 to present. ETSU ranked in the Top 30 percent of the nation’s 300-plus programs, finishing 82nd on the list and well ahead of many programs from mid-major and major conferences. The Bucs finished ahead of major conference teams such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, Notre Dame, DePaul, Clemson, California and Florida, as well as mid-major rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro, and every Atlantic Sun Conference School.

brings with it more than a chance to win basketball games and earn a degree. In addition, there are the experiences of reaching out to the community by visiting area hospitals, seeing the world during travels throughout the season, and acting as university ambassadors at major sports venues such as Bristol Motor Speedway. “Playing basketball at ETSU gives our players the chance to improve their athletic skills, but it is much more than that,” said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. “It’s also about growing as a person, and becoming a well-rounded member of society. It’s about building relationships with teammates, coaches, and staff. “It’s about becoming a better person.”

With the exception of the beautiful Appalachian Mountains surrounding the city, perhaps the most dominant landmark in Johnson City, Tenn., and certainly on the ETSU campus, is the ETSU/Mountain States Health Alliance Athletic Center, better known as the Mini-Dome. The Dome has been the home of Buccaneer basketball for the past 33 years. Home has definitely been sweet for ETSU since the facility was first used in 1977. The Buccaneers have won over 70 percent of their games in the Mini-Dome and have won over 76 percent of their games at home since 1988-89. The Bucs went 12-0 in Memorial Center during the 2003-04 season, 16-3 there in 2006-07, and 11-2 both in 2007-08 and 2008-09. Twice each year, the facility is transformed into a first-class indoor track facility. ETSU annually plays host to an international track meet which has ranked as one of the top indoor track meets in the country. The Mini-Dome also continues to serve as the site of the Atlantic Sun Conference Indoor Track Championship. In addition, the Dome also serves as the home of the Buccaneer tennis teams in various tournaments and dual matches during the season. The Dome offers players and spectators the comforts of 78-degree temperatures in the winter and cool 68-degree marks in the warm summer months. The climate is maintained by 1,140 tons of air conditioning, provided by the university’s chiller plant and by steam heat from the campus power plant. The facilities housed within the Mini-Dome include the main basketball floor, Gentry Field, two auxiliary basketball courts, a six-lane, 280-meter track, six racquetball/handball courts, seven tennis courts, a rifle range, two gymnasiums, a strength training facility, several locker rooms, and a physical education research laboratory. The offices for most of ETSU’s varsity sports are also housed in the Dome, as well as the athletics administration and media relations offices.

The Center of Excellence for Sport Science and Coach Education The Center of Excellence was established July 1, 2008, and is housed in the College of Education. It incorporates three very important aspects of competitive sports: education, service, and research. The former Sport Performance Enhancement Consortium (SPEC) is now a very active branch of the Center of Excellence. The SPEC program continues to be a collaborative effort between Intercollegiate Athletics and the Sport Science Lab in the Department of Kinesiology, Leisure and Sport Sciences. Buccaneer student-athletes in collaboration with sport science, sport medicine, and the sport coach have the opportunity to have their program evaluated and monitored throughout their college career. This monitoring and evaluation process produces one of the most advanced training environments in the nation. This type of relationship is not found anywhere in the U.S. and offers a unique opportunity for the advancement of athletic performance, athlete and coach education and sport science research. The program is dedicated to meeting the following goals: 1. Providing monitoring services for the ETSU sport teams 2. Supporting and providing up-to-date information to coaches regarding coaching practices. 3. Advising on the Training Process 4. Providing an opportunity for the interaction between sport scientists, medical staff, strength and conditioning staff and the ETSU Sport Coaches.

BUCCANEERS STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING CENTER 12
Over the past decade one of the biggest changes in collegiate athletics has been the new attitude toward strength and conditioning. ETSU’s success on the field could not have happened without the hard work and dedication of each student-athlete in the weightroom. Under the direction of head strength coach Lee Morrow, who is currently in his 26th season at ETSU, the Buccaneers have earned eight Gatorade/National Strength Coaches Association All-American Team honors. With its recent collaboration with the Sports Performance Enhancement Consortium (SPEC) ETSU’s strength and conditioning program has focused its efforts on helping each student-athlete reach his/her greatest athletic potential, in the areas of strength, speed, agility and injury prevention. Located inside Memorial Center, the ETSU’s strength and conditioning complex features one of the finest weightrooms in the area. Overall, the Buccaneers have access to a 7,200-foot facility that features state-of-the-art equipment, including customized full power racks, Hammer-Strength machines, including bench press, incline press, military press, rowing machines, speed mats, pull-up bars in addition to an impressive array of other sports performance tools. Through the SPEC and strength and conditioning web site, ETSU student-athletes have 24-hour access to workout plans, nutrition, and other information that monitors each individual or team off-season conditioning program.

Without a doubt the most used piece of equipment in the athletic training facility is the Hydroworx polar plunge pool. It is used by all teams on a daily basis post practice and used by all injured athletes under the care of the athletic training staff. Along with the cold pool is a Hydroworx 500 therapy pool. This pool has a treadmill as part of the floor and two cameras mounted on the front and side of the pool. This gives visual feedback to the athlete and athletic trainer during treatment.

Bucs Aiming for Repeat Performance in 2010-11
A nine-time NCAA Tournament and two-time NIT participant, the ETSU Buccaneers enter the 2010-11 season looking to continue their current streak of conference championship success and make another run at national prominence in the postseason. The Bucs only added to their rich history of success during the 2009-10 season, capturing a second straight Atlantic Sun Conference Championship and making back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Tournament. One year ago, the program posted its fourth 20-win season in the past seven years, and did so despite having to overcome multiple challenges. The obstacles set in front of the Bucs a year ago included the tragic death of rising sophomore center Seth Coy (Washington, Ind.) in a tragic car accident in the preseason, followed
by the loss of senior 1,000-point scorer Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) to injury prior to the start of conference play. Even with those issues, the Bucs methodically gelled as a unit and, despite standing at 14-14 midway through the month of February, the team rattled off six straight victories to earn yet another trip to March Madness. It was not easy however, as the team ultimately needed a 72-66 win over Mercer on the Bears’ home floor in Macon, Ga., to capture the league tournament title. The Bucs were led by a team of “role” players that included forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston), guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.), guard Micah Williams (Manchester), guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa, Fla.), post Isiah Brown (Miami), and post J.C. Ward (Marietta). Only losing senior

guard Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) off the roster from 2009-10, the Bucs will add Smith – a 1,000-point scorer and preseason all-conference pick – back to the mix after receiving a medical redshirt, and a trio of incoming recruits will also add to the talent pool. For those reasons, as the team looks to the 2010-11 season, there is certainly reason to be excited and expectations will be high once again. The road will not be easy however, as the Bucs’ schedule will once again send them on the road for much of the first two months of the season. Games at major conference powers like Kentucky, Dayton, Mississippi and Mississippi State await in November and December, as well as a trip to the Cancun Governor’s Cup during the week of Christmas. Trips to College of Charleston and Murray State – both solid mid-major programs – will also test the Bucs early on this year. ETSU will play within the friendly confines of the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center just twice (Tennessee Tech and Milligan) before its conference home opener Dec. 30 against Campbell.

Season Preview
Senior Mike Smith

While Davis started 28 of the Bucs’ 32 games at point guard a year ago, he averaged just 20.2 minutes a contest. This left plenty of minutes at that position for Sollazzo and sophomore Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) to get valuable playing time, and it was Sollazzo who saw much of the action for the Bucs late in games during the Bucs’ championship run, which included a season-ending, six-game winning streak. Though it is expected Sollazzo and Cooley will see much of the action at the point, there will truly be a log jam for playing time at the shooting guard and small forward positions. With Smith rejoining the rotation, along with the return of Williams, Tubbs, and even Cooley, there are plenty of options at the scoring guard slots. A year ago, Williams emerged as a true offensive threat, posting double figure efforts in 21 of his last 26 games, earning A-Sun Tournament MVP honors and netting a team-high 19 points against Kentucky in the NCAAs. Williams finished second on the team with 12.7 points per game, while Tubbs – who was an all-tournament selection as well – was third on the squad with 12.1 a contest. This leaves junior Jarvis Jones (Memphis), senior De’Shaud Johnson (Bristol), and true freshman Ryan Woumn (Lynn, Mass.) looking to contribute. Plans are currently for Jones to redshirt this season due to the mass of players in the scoring guard positions, while Woumn and Johnson may see some floor time because of their basketball I.Q. and ability to distribute the basketball.
Frontcourt The entire frontcourt returns this season, led by Hubbard, Brown and Ward. One year ago, Hubbard paced the team with 13.9 points and 8.2 rebounds a contest en route to A-Sun second team honors and all-tournament squad accolades. He averaged 33.5 minutes a contest and also picked up 1.7 steals per game. While those numbers make it easy to see why Hubbard will be on the
Bucs at a Glance Projected Starters: With so many returning contributors from a year ago and the return of Smith to the lineup, finding spots for the Bucs’ many talented players may be an issue for Bartow and his coaching staff ... Sollazzo looks like a logical choice at point guard but don’t count out sophomore Sheldon Cooley (Tampa, Fla.)... There is a log jam at the shooting guard and small forward slots, with Smith, Williams and Tubbs in the mix ... Hubbard and Brown return on the inside, but that does not take into account Ward, or any newcomers like Anthony Johnson (Los Angeles) or Curtis Wilkinson (Bude, Miss.). Anticipated Strengths: With a bevy of returning players and a great deal of court experience, the Bucs could have one of their most well-rounded teams in some time ... There is a great deal of offensive firepower to go along with a team that has improved its defensive numbers consistently over the last three years ... That combination could lead to a strong season both in non-conference and league action. Anticipated Weaknesses: While Smith gives the Bucs another strong scoring option, his health could still be a concern ... And if Smith is out, then the Bucs’ concerns primarily involve the offensive end, where ETSU averaged just 69.3 points per game a year ago ... The Bucs were able to negate this concern with great defensive efforts and rebounding a year ago, but the team would like to improve offensively and not have to rely so heavily on its defensive efforts. All-America Candidates: Smith is already a 1,000-point scorer and he posted a total of 10 double-doubles in 2008-09 ... He is likely the most capable of making a run at All-American, though Hubbard’s numbers were impressive a year ago. All-Conference Candidates: Smith and Hubbard are A-Sun Player of the Year candidates and should be First Team All-Conference preseason picks ... Brown, Williams, Tubbs and Sollazzo all have the potential to earn postseason conference honors with quality seasons.

floor, Brown also looked good in his sophomore season. Entering this year as a fourth-year junior, Brown comes off a season in which he average 7.8 points and 5.6 boards a contest. Meanwhile, Ward found ways to contribute as well – especially at the end of the season – and is expected to continue his development in 2010-11. But the talent does not stop with this trio. Rising sophomore Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) averaged 9.3 minutes a game a year ago and continues to develop as a strong inside player. In addition, junior college newcomers Curtis Wilkinson (Bude, Miss.) and Anthony Johnson (Los Angeles) are expected to immediately bring some maturity, athleticism, defensive intensity and offensive firepower to the squad.
With so much skill and talent returning, finding a workable mix of playing time may be a challenge, and team chemistry remains to be seen. In addition, the early season challenges of a tough road slate and quality “major” conference opponents could test this team’s resolve. Even with those questions, there is reason for optimism and excitement for Buccaneer fans. And a third straight trip to March Madness could certainly be within reach.
Final Analysis On paper, the Bucs return a talented, experienced, and battletested group that has tasted conference championship success in each of the last two seasons. This should bode well for the group, but there are still challenges.

NCAA Tournament Appearances . . . 1968, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010
Murry Bartow became the 15th head coach in the 81-year history of East Tennessee State University men’s basketball on April 22, 2003, and he has wasted little time making a place for himself in the tradition-rich history of Buccaneer hoops. Since joining the ETSU family, Bartow has posted the school’s best winning percentage by a coach with five or more years of service, winning 61 percent of his games (138-87). He eclipsed 100 wins at ETSU and 200 wins for his career during the 2008-09 season, and his Buccaneer teams have averaged just under 20 wins a season since Bartow arrived in Johnson City. In addition, his ETSU teams – which have enjoyed 20 wins in four of his seven seasons on the bench – have won the Southern Conference championship in 2004, the Atlantic Sun Conference regular season title in 2007, and back-to-back A-Sun Tournament championships in 2009 and 2010. Most recently, Bartow did arguably his best coaching job ever during the 2009-10 season, as the Bucs overcame the tragic preseason death of rising sophomore Seth Coy and the loss of injured senior captain Mike Smith to still win the A-Sun title and make the program’s ninth trip all time to the NCAAs. The Bucs placed three players on the A-Sun All-Tournament team, and took on Kentucky in March Madness. During the 2008-09 season, Bartow guided the Buccaneers to another 20-win season, as ETSU posted a 23-11 record. Even more impressive, the Bucs captured the A-Sun Tournament title and made the program’s eighth trip all time to the NCAA Tournament. ETSU placed three players
on the league’s all-tournament team, and ultimately made an impressive showing in the first round of the NCAAs as a No. 16 seed, taking No. 1-seeded Pittsburgh to the wire. In 2003-04, Bartow led the Bucs to arguably the best season in their history, finishing with a program-best 15-1 record in Southern Conference play, setting a new school record with a 16-game winning streak, and coming within one win of matching the best overall record in school history with a 27-6 mark. ETSU finished first in the SoCon North Division for the fourth year in a row and won its second overall regular season title in four years. In addition, the Bucs captured the SoCon Tournament title for the second straight year and the sixth time in school history, and the team competed in its seventh NCAA Tournament. For his efforts in 2003-04, Bartow was named the Southern Conference Coach of the Year by both the league’s coaches and media. Plus, the Bucs had three players named first-team All-SoCon, including senior Zakee Wadood – who was selected as the league’s most valuable player – and Tim Smith – who was selected as the tournament’s most valuable player. In 2006-07, Bartow once again led the Bucs to one of the best seasons in school history, as the team went 24-10 overall and 16-2 in Atlantic Sun play to finish as the regular season champions. The squad earned a trip to the National Invitation Tournament, and for the second time in four seasons, Bartow was honored by his peers with the A-Sun Coach of the Year award. The 49-year-old Bartow, who was also head coach at the University of AlabamaBirmingham from 1996-2002, has won 241 games in
his career and made appearances in seven postseason tournaments as a Division I coach – including the NCAA Tournament in 1999, 2004, 2009 and 2010. Bartow replaced former ETSU head coach Ed DeChellis, who spent seven seasons at ETSU before taking the head coaching position at Penn State following the 2002-03 season. Bartow enjoyed his share of success early in his head coaching career. Overall, his UAB teams posted a 103-83 record that included 48 Conference USA victories – second only to Cincinnati’s Bob Huggins in that same time span. The Blazers – who enjoyed 20-win seasons twice under Bartow – also made three postseason appearances during this time, getting invitations to the NIT in 1997 and 1998, and a trip to the NCAA Tournament in 1999. In 23 years as a player, assistant coach and head coach, Bartow has been to 16 post-season tournaments (10 NCAA and 6 NITs). The son of Coach Gene and Ruth Bartow, Murry literally grew up around the game of basketball, and has apprenticed at the side of two of the game’s master teachers, Gene Bartow and Indiana’s Bob Knight. Bartow began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Indiana (1985-87) and worked with the Hossiers’ 1987 NCAA Championship team. He then worked for two seasons as a full-time assistant and recruiting coordinator at William & Mary (1987-89).

Veteran college basketball coach Michael Boyd is set to begin his eighth season at East Tennessee State University, after spending the last seven seasons as a huge coaching asset for the Bucs. Boyd has a wealth of coaching experience at the collegiate level, after having spent seven seasons as an assistant coach at Penn State from 1996 to 2003, and also serving as an assistant coach at another Big Ten Conference program, Michigan, for 11 seasons from 1979 to 1990. In addition, Boyd also enjoyed a head coaching stint at Cleveland State from 1990 to 1996. After those six seasons at Cleveland State – which included a 22-6 record and Mid-Continent Conference championship in 1992-93 – Boyd joined the staff at Penn State in 1996. “We are fortunate to have Mike on our staff,” said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. “He is incredibly experienced as an assistant and head coach at the Division I level, and he has numerous contacts across the country because of his 18 years as an assistant in the Big Ten. Mike works directly with our post players and does an outstanding job developing their game.” Boyd was equally pleased to be joining the Buccaneer program when he took the position in 2003, especially after the kind of season ETSU enjoyed in 2002-03 – a campaign which saw the Bucs win their third consecutive Southern Conference North Division title, capture the SoCon Tournament championship, and make a trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Bucs responded again in 2003-04, finishing with a 27-6 record and a second straight trip to the NCAA Tournament. In 2006-07, the team won 24 games which ranks as the fifth-best season in school

history, capturing the program’s first Atlantic Sun Conference championship. And again in 2008-09 and 2009-10, the Bucs fielded a championship team, winning the A-Sun Tournament and participating in the program’s eighth and ninth trips to the NCAA Tournament. “I think ETSU is a program that is going somewhere and I’ve enjoyed being a part of it,” Boyd said. A 1970 graduate of Northern Michigan University, Boyd was instrumental in helping build Michigan’s 1989 NCAA Championship team. He assisted head coach Bill Frieder with backto-back Big Ten Championship clubs in 1985 and 1986 and an NIT title squad in 1984. The Wolverines were 237-108 during Boyd’s 11 years in Ann Arbor. Boyd has recruited and coached NBA standouts such as Glen Rice, Rumeal Robinson, Loy Vaught, Roy Tarpley, Gary Grant, Tim McCormick, and Terry Mills. Prior to Michigan, he served four years as an assistant at Kent State, including a stint as interim head coach in his last season at the school. Boyd played basketball at Northern Michigan, where he led the conference in scoring under coach Stan Albeck. He was inducted into the NMU Hall of Fame in ’80.

Scott Wagers enters his 11th season as an assistant coach at East Tennessee State University, having seen the Bucs win four straight Southern Conference North Division Championships (2000-2004), two straight SoCon Tournament titles (2003 & 2004), three Atlantic Sun Conference championships (2007, 2009 and 2010), and make four trips to the NCAA Tournament (2003, 2004, 2009 and 2010), and earn a berth in the NIT (2007). “Keeping Scott Wagers on staff was crucial when we made the transition in coaching staffs seven years ago,” said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. “Scott is an excellent coach with great recruiting ties and a talent for working on our defensive strategies and alignments.” Wagers’ primary area of responsibility is acting as the team’s defensive coordinator, helping develop the team’s fullcourt defensive style, its trapping principles, and man-to-man philosophy. Along with those duties, Wagers works with the team’s post players and is an invaluable recruiter with ties throughout the country. Before coming to Johnson City, Wagers was the head coach at Robinson High School in Tampa, Fla., from 1994-2000. He earned Tampa Bay Basketball Coaches’ Association Coach of the Year honors in 1997-98 after taking his team to the Florida High School semifinals. Wagers’ team also earned St. Petersburg Times/Tampa Tribune Team-ofthe-Year honors that season.

Veteran coach Thomas Johnson enters his first season on the Buccaneer bench, having replaced longtime assistant Will Bailey prior to the start of the season. Johnson, who was entering his third season at Samford, also worked for Bartow at UAB for four seasons during the late 1990s, and spent two seasons on the bench at MTSU from 2006 to 2008. He also possesses strong recruiting ties in Memphis, having spent over 20 years as a high school coach in both Tennessee and Alabama. “We are very pleased to have Thomas join our staff and think he will bring a great deal of experience to our program,” Bartow said. “Loyalty and trust are very important factors when hiring a new coach, and having worked with Thomas in the past at UAB and watching his career develop, I know that he will be able to fit into the chemistry of our staff. He brings many years of experience to the floor both as a high school and college coach, and his time in the Memphis area will only strengthen our recruiting in that part of the state.” After spending two seasons as the top assistant coach under Kermit Davis at Middle Tennessee State University, Johnson came to Samford at the start of the 2008-09 season. A staunch recruiter, Johnson was part of an MTSU staff that landed a 2007 signing class rated No. 1 in the Sun Belt and No. 48 nationally by Hoop Scoop, as well as the No. 13-rated class among the nation’s mid-major programs by Rivals.com. Before his time at MTSU, Johnson logged more than 20 years as a high school coach in Alabama and Tennessee.
Experience: • 1981-98 – Head coach, Thompson High School (Alabaster, Ala.) • 1998-2002 – Assistant Coach, UAB • 2002-2006 – Head coach, Wooddale High School (Memphis, Tenn.) • 2006-2008 – Assistant Coach, MTSU • 2008-2010 – Assistant Coach, Samford • 2010 – Assistant Coach, ETSU
He overhauled the Wooddale High School program in Memphis, Tenn. Prior to his arrival, the school endured an 0-23 season in 2001–02, but it enjoyed four straight seasons of 22 wins or more in his four years there, including a 24-9 mark in 2002–03. For his efforts, Johnson was named the District 15-3A Coach of the Year in 2002–03 and the Commercial Appeal Co-Coach of the Year. Wooddale, which enjoyed a 94-36 record and three seasons of 24 wins, won the district championship in 2005–06 and finished second in the district twice. The program reached the Region 8-3A semifinals every year. Johnson spent four years on the staff at UAB under Bartow, helping lead the Blazers to three winning seasons and an NCAA Tournament berth. The Blazers won the Conference USA National Division championship during the 1998–99 season. Johnson spent 17 years (1981–98) as the head coach at Thompson High School in Alabaster, Ala., and set a 309-191 record. He was a three-time Shelby County Coach of the Year (1982, 1987, 1995). His teams won five area championships and reached the substate playoffs five times. Johnson played college basketball at the University of Montevallo and graduated with a bachelor of science in physical education. He has two daughters, Adrian, 32, and Katie, 22, and two sons, Marques, 27, and Caleb, 16.

Game #3 Box Score Morgan State 72, ETSU 61 Nov. 19, 2009 -- Baltimore, Md.
Summary: On a Homecoming day full of emotion, the ETSU men’s basketball team made the plays it needed to make in the final minutes to outlast rival Appalachian State 62-58 in the 2009-10 season opener Saturday afternoon inside Memorial Center ... In a game that began with a memorial service for former ETSU center Seth Coy (Washington, Ind.), who tragically died in a car accident last summer, the Buccaneers were the recipients of a fortuitous intentional foul call with a minute left in regulation and capitalized at the foul line with five makes in six tries to pick up the victory. A crowd of 5,562 fans looked on as sophomore guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa, Fla.) – who roomed with Coy and now wears his No. 43 jersey – hit two of those free tosses with 16.2 seconds left to help ice the game ... Prior to the game, over 50 people from Coy’s hometown were on the Memorial Center floor, and Bartow presented his mother with a framed jersey. Those emotions seemed to wear on both the Bucs and Mountaineers, who struggled to find an offensive rhythm in the first half.
Summary: A double-double effort and career-high 26 points from junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) were not enough to overcome ETSU’s poor foul shooting and second half offensive struggles inside the McKenzie Arena, as the Buccaneers relinquished a nine-point second half lead to fall 85-76 to former Southern Conference rival Chattanooga ... The Bucs (1-1), who were a disappointing 14-of-29 from the charity stripe and hit only eight field goals in the second half, looked on as Chattanooga (2-0) went 22-of-27 from the foul line and outscored the Bucs 38-24 in the second half. ETSU senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) was in street clothes on the bench and his offensive presence was missed in the loss ... The first 20 minutes was an offensive clinic by both teams, as the Bucs and Mocs torched the nets for a combined 99 points, with ETSU hitting 51 percent of its field goals and UTC matching those numbers with a 50 percent clip from the floor ... In the second half, the Bucs built their lead to as many as nine points early in the second half at 58-49, but a four-minute scoring drought allowed the Mocs to rally and ultimately build a lead of six points at 68-62 with 8:03 left in the game.
Summary: With the departures of graduated All-Atlantic Sun Conference players Courtney Pigram and Kevin Tiggs, and the knee injury that has sidelined senior guard and preseason all league pick Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.), the deck has been stacked against the ETSU men’s basketball team in the early going this year ... This was once again evident Thursday night against the defending Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champion Morgan State ... Shooting just 29 percent from the field and struggling offensively throughout the game, the Buccaneers trailed the Bears by as many as 22 points and ultimately dropped its second straight game 72-61 inside the Hill Field House. The Bucs (1-2) now have to regroup and prep for defending Big East Conference champion Louisville on Saturday at 4 p.m ... Despite the loss, a bright spot was once again the play of junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston), who finished with his second straight double-double thanks to a 19-point, 10-rebound effort. Along with Hubbard, junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) added 16 points.

Summary: Junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) scored a career-high 29 points and the ETSU men’s basketball team held off a late College of Charleston rally to drop the Cougars 77-71 in non-conference play inside Memorial Center ... A crowd of 3,105 looked on as the Bucs led by as many as 12 points multiple times during the game, but the Cougars used a 9-2 run late in the second half to pull within three points at 68-65 with 3:09 left in the regulation. However, from there the Bucs hit enough free throws to hold off their former Southern Conference rival, a team that is picked to win the SoCon this season. ... The Bucs did dominate the glass and hold the Cougars’ shooting attack in check. Meanwhile, along with Tubbs’ scoring ETSU got a double-double from Tommy Hubbard (Boston) with 13 points and 11 rebounds, while J.C. Ward (Marietta) provided 11 points and five boards in just 21 minutes of action ... Statistically, the Bucs only turned the ball over just 10 times in the game and committed just nine fouls in 40 minutes of action. ETSU improved somewhat at the foul line, hitting 63 percent (15-of-24) from the line, and held the Cougars to a 26 percent clip from 3-point range.
2010-2011 Media Guide
Summary: Outscoring No. 20 Louisville 35-32 in the second half, the ETSU men’s basketball team did not back down from its Big East Conference foe, but the Buccaneers still could not overcome a tough first half offensively as they fell 69-56 to the Cardinals in front of 19,179 at historic Freedom Hall ... Junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) sank four 3-pointers in the second half and scored a game-high 18 points in a contest that saw the Buccaneers’ defense hold Louisville to just 36 percent shooting from the floor. In addition, ETSU held its own on the glass against a much larger Louisville squad, finishing 44-44 in the rebounding category ... The Bucs stayed close in the early going, as a Tubbs’ 3-pointer made it 10-7 in favor of ETSU with 15:04 left. However, from there the Bucs went cold and did not score a field goal for over 10 minutes of game play, allowing the Cardinals to pull away by as many as 17 with 1:32 left before the intermission. At the break, it was 37-21 in favor of the Cardinals ... Yet in the second half, the Bucs reversed most of those trends, outrebounding Louisville 30-19 in the second half and making a more effective effort on the offensive end.
Summary: Junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) posted a career-high 32 points and collected his fourth double-double in the last five games, leading the ETSU men’s basketball team to an impressive 94-85 road win over Southeastern Conference foe Arkansas Friday evening before 13,794 fans inside the Bud Walton Arena ... Along with Hubbard’s warrior-like effort, ETSU got a career-high 18 points from junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester), while junior transfer Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) pitched in his second straight 20-point effort with 21 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the floor. As a team, the Bucs were impressive offensively, shooting 59 percent from the floor, 79 percent from 3-point range and 76 percent from the foul line en route to a 94-point effort ... Along with the great offensive numbers, the Bucs out-rebounded the Hogs 36-23, which included a game-high 10 boards for Hubbard. ... After falling behind 19-12 with 14:28 left before the intermission, the Bucs found their offensive stride in a big way the rest of the half. ETSU outscored Arkansas 36-13 the rest of the way, shooting 57 percent (17-of-30) from the floor, 70 percent (7-of-10) from beyond the arc, and 100 percent (7-of-7) from the foul line, leading to a 48-32 halftime advantage ... The Bucs never trailed the rest of the way, though Arkansas did pull to within six points midway through the second half.

Summary: Senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) returned to the lineup and junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) continued his dominating play with his fifth double-double of the season, as the ETSU men’s basketball team opened Atlantic Sun Conference play with a convincing 82-56 victory over North Florida Sunday afternoon inside Memorial Center ... ETSU, now 4-3 overall, 1-0 in A-Sun play, got a game-high 25 points and 13 rebounds from Hubbard, while Smith pitched in 14 points and fellow junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) added 12. The Buccaneers dominated in most every statistical category, outrebounding the Ospreys 38-28, forcing UNF into 25 turnovers and finishing with a 26-point cushion ... The Bucs blitzed out to a 9-2 lead early in the game, but UNF responded with its own 8-0 run to take its only lead of the contest at 10-9. However, that edge did not last long, as ETSU put together a 10-2 run to go up 19-12 and never looked back ... Smith’s return was highlighted by his first field goal of the season, which came after he stole a UNF inbounds pass and raced to the other end of the floor for a slam dunk.
Summary: Facing the nation’s No. 11-ranked Tennessee Volunteers, the ETSU men’s basketball team found itself within striking distance late, but was unable to make a run when it was needed and dropped a 78-66 contest Wednesday night inside Thompson-Boling Arena ... Junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville) posted a game-high 22 points, and the Bucs also got double-digit scoring from junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) with 11 and freshman point guard Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) with 10, but despite those efforts ETSU could do no more than give the Vols a significant scare ... Tennessee came out on fire in the first half, shooting 75 percent from the floor over the first 10 minutes of play and building a lead of as many as 14 points at 26-12 ... However, from there ETSU did not fold, outscoring the Vols 19-10 the rest of the way to finish the half just five back at 36-31 ... In the second half, the Bucs cut the Tennessee lead to three at 42-39 with 15:36 thanks to a layup by Tubbs. ETSU stayed within striking distance most of the way in the second half and trailed just 64-58 with 4:37 left, but an 8-3 spurt by UT ended with a three-point play by Tyler Smith that made it 72-61 with 1:25 left.
Summary: In a game full of emotion for ETSU head coach Murry Bartow and his father, Gene, the Buccaneers’ men’s basketball team was unable to overcome UAB’s strong inside game and fell 74-52 in the inaugural UAB Health System Gene Bartow Classic Friday night at Bartow Arena ... The Blazers outrebounded the Bucs 52-28 on the night and held a 22-5 advantage in second chance points to hand ETSU its most lopsided loss of the early season. Besides the nice moments for his father, there was not much to smile about for ETSU’s head coach ... The Bucs got double figure scoring from senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) with 14 points, while junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) added 11. However, UAB got a double-double from Elijah Millsap with 11 ... ETSU got out of the gate with a strong start and led early when a Tubbs 3-pointer found the mark, making it 11-10 with 13:25 left in the first half. After the break, Smith came ready to play and scored nine quick points to power an ETSU rally that pulled the Bucs to within five points at 45-40 with 12:03 left in the game. Unfortunately for the Bucs, UAB responded to the run with a 9-0 spurt that pushed the lead to 14 at 64-50 with 9:43 left.

Summary: Junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) scored a career-high 22 points and posted his first career double-double thanks to a 10-rebound effort, but more importantly it was his rebound and put back with six seconds left that sealed ETSU’s unexpectedly tough 75-71 win over North Georgia inside Brooks Gym ... Playing in front of a sellout crowd of 2,972 fans as part of a special “Back to Brooks” game, the Buccaneers wore special retro uniforms based after the 1968 squad. However, there was nothing special about the performance, as the Division II Saints overcame a 67-53 deficit in the final 2:56 to make it a two-point game at 73-71 with just 10 seconds left ... Williams was fouled and went to the line at that point, but missed both foul shots. However, even though ETSU had no players on the lane, Williams managed to weave his way through the Saints to grab the rebound and score a layup as time ran down ... Along with Williams’ double-double, junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) posted his sixth double-double of the year.

Game #9 Box Score UAB 74, ETSU 52 Dec. 4, 2009 -- Birmingham, Ala.
Summary: Despite overcoming an 18-point second half deficit and actually taking the lead late in the game, the ETSU men’s basketball team could not get a basket when it counted in the final two minutes, dropping its first game at home this season in a 61-57 loss to Murray State at the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center ... The Buccaneers suffered through their worst offensive first half of the season and trailed 36-20 at the break. However, ETSU outscored Murray State – the preseason favorite in the Ohio Valley Conference – by a 37-25 clip in the second half and had a chance at the end ... Those players included Micah Williams, who finished with a game-high 18 points, while freshman guard Bruce Grimm (Rochester, Ind.) came off the bench to score 11 points and dish out three assists in the second half. Meanwhile, Murray State got a double-double effort from Ivan Aska with 17 points and 14 rebounds, while Danero Thomas added 12 for the Racers as they improved to an impressive 8-1 on the season.
Summary: Despite trailing by just two points to Morehead State with 34.8 seconds left, back-to-back turnovers by the ETSU men’s basketball team in the final 30 seconds ultimately cost the Buccaneers a chance at a road victory, as they fell to the Eagles 60-58 in non-conference action Friday evening at Johnson Arena ... After tying the game on a Jarvis Jones (Memphis) 3-pointer with 57 seconds left, Morehead State’s Maze Stallworth was fouled and hit both free throws. At that point, the Bucs first turned the ball over with just over five seconds left when junior Micah Williams (Manchester) dribbled the ball off his foot and out of bounds ... Then, after a pair of free throw misses by Morehead’s Kenneth Faried, senior guard Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) walked with the basketball as he raced to the other end for a desperation attempt to tie it ... The Bucs shot just 38 percent from the floor on the evening, and were outrebounded 44-30. ETSU was led offensively by Jones’ 14 points on 4-of-7 shooting from 3-point range, while junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) also added 14.

Summary: Trailing by five at 27-22 with 6:39 left in the first half, the ETSU men’s basketball team was able to find its stride offensively and ultimately outscored Jacksonville by 28 points the rest of the game, winning 93-70 in a key early season Atlantic Sun Conference matchup at the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center ... A crowd of 3,271 looked on as four ETSU players scored in double figures, while junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) posted his seventh double-double of the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Buccaneers’ attack ... While Hubbard finished with yet another double-double, junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) pitched in a team high 17 points, junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) tossed in 16, and sophomore guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) added 14 in the winning effort. Meanwhile, freshman point guard Bruce Grimm (Rochester, Ind.) made just his second career start and responded with six points, six assists and four steals, while turning the ball over just twice.
Summary: Despite giving up a 15-point lead over the final 10 minutes and facing a tie score with 58 seconds left, an unlikely scenario involving an injury to sophomore forward Isiah Brown (Miami) and a made foul shot by freshman forward Lukas Poderis (Tampa) lifted the ETSU men’s basketball team to a 63-62 win over USC Upstate in Atlantic Sun Conference basketball action inside the E.B. Hodge Center ... The Bucs – who scored a season-low 16 points in the second half – held a 58-43 lead with 10:12 left. In fact, the Bucs overcame six missed foul shots and two turnovers in the final minute to still manage a victory thanks to an unusual finish. ... When Upstate’s Carter Cook missed a potential game winner with 15 seconds left, Brown came down with the rebound and was fouled to the floor. The foul left Brown holding his right ankle and heading to the ETSU bench. By rule, USC Upstate coach Eddie Payne was then allowed to pick who would replace Brown at the line. ... Poderis hit the first shot of the one-and-one bonus, giving the Bucs the lead at 63-62.
Summary: Junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) posted his eighth double-double of the season and the ETSU men’s basketball team’s defensive efforts stymied the Kennesaw State Owls en route to a 63-46 victory in Atlantic Sun Conference action at the KSU Convocation Center ... Hubbard finished with a game-high 20 points and 14 rebounds, as the Bucs improved to 8-7 overall and a perfect 4-0 in A-Sun play. Meanwhile, KSU dropped to 5-10, 1-4 after being held to its lowest point total of the season and shooting just 31 percent from the field for the game ... In a rather ugly first half offensively for both teams, the Owls were simply worse and unable to solve the ETSU zone. The Bucs held KSU to a season-low 13 points in the first 20 minutes, as the Owls shot just 18 percent (5-of-28) from the floor. ETSU took advantage as Kennesaw sputtered, outscoring the Owls 14-4 in the paint and 12-4 on second chance points to take a 29-13 edge into the break ... The second half had the same look as the first, with the Bucs building their advantage to as many as 23 points and ultimately winning by 17. A huge edge for ETSU came in the paint, where the Bucs outscored the Owls, 34-18.

Summary: All good things must come to an end, and Saturday afternoon against Mercer, the ETSU men’s basketball team watched as its perfect 8-0 all-time record against the Bears finally suffered a blemish ... Without the services of sophomore forward Isiah Brown (Miami), who missed the game with an ankle injury, the Buccaneers trailed 73-53 with 4:42 left in the game. However, ETSU made a spirited comeback over the final minutes only to fall short 83-78 during Atlantic Sun Conference action inside the University Center ... The Bucs shot just 38 percent from the floor for the game, while allowing Mercer a 49 percent clip. Mercer also shot 43 percent from 3-point range, which was critical as the Bears built their lead throughout the second half ... For ETSU, a major bright spot in the game was freshman guard Sheldon Cooley (Tampa, Fla.), who finished with a game-high 29 points and three steals. Meanwhile, junior guards Micah Williams (Manchester) and Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) finished with 18 and 12 points, respectively. ... For Mercer, preseason All A-Sun guard James Florence scored a game-high 22 points, while Jeff Smith added 17, E.J. Kusnyer pitched in 15 and Daniel Emerson had 13.
2010-2011 Media Guide
Summary: For the third time in five seasons, the ETSU men’s basketball team looked on as the Stetson Hatters came into the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center and left with an Atlantic Sun Conference victory ... The Buccaneers relinquished an 11-point halftime lead in front of 4,003 fans at the Mini-Dome, as Stetson went 10-of-25 from 3-point range to manage the 54-52 victory Thursday night. ETSU had a shot at the end to tie the game as Stetson’s A.J. Smith missed the front end of a one-and-one, but junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) went coast-to-coast only to have his layup attempt fall short at the buzzer ... ETSU led by eight 27-19 at the break, and though the game was not the up-and-down type that the Bucs would enjoy, they still held a somewhat comfortable lead. ... However, after a Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) 3-pointer found the bottom of the net to open the second half and make it 30-19 in favor of ETSU, Stetson went on a 19-5 run over the next nine minutes to take a 38-35 lead. ... ETSU tied the game at 46, but from there was never able to take the lead again. Even so, the Bucs did have a pair of opportunities to tie the game, but freshman guard Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) missed the front end of a one-and-one with 21 seconds left, and Hubbard had his shot miss the mark as time expired.
Summary: In need of a bounce back performance, ETSU men’s basketball used a tenacious defensive effort to hold Florida Gulf Coast to just 10 points in the first half and ultimately cruised to a decisive 73-51 victory in Atlantic Sun Conference play at the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center ... The Buccaneers (9-9 overall, 5-2 A-Sun) ultimately forced the Eagles (5-12 overall, 2-6 A-Sun) into 26 turnovers and grabbed 11 steals, and held FGCU to 35 percent shooting from the floor and 23 percent from beyond the 3-point arc. Meanwhile, the Bucs got a game-high 21 points from junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston), and junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) pitched in 15 in the winning effort ... In the first half, ETSU fell behind 5-3 when a Reggie Chambers 3-pointer found the bottom of the net. However, from there the Bucs turned up the defensive pressure and used its trapping zone defense to stymie the Eagles. ETSU ultimately used a 17-0 run to power a strong first half and outscored FGCU 31-5 the rest of the half to lead 34-10 at the break ... It was the lowest first-half point total for an ETSU opponent this season ... The second half was no different, as the Bucs’ advantage grew to as many as 33 points at 65-32 with 7:30 left in the contest.

Summary: Sophomore guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) hit a 3-pointer from the right corner with .4 seconds left to give the ETSU men’s basketball team a thrilling 71-69 victory over Lipscomb in Atlantic Sun Conference action inside Allen Arena ... Jones came off the bench to play the point guard position and scored 17 points, but none were more important than the last three. Trailing 69-68 with 3.4 seconds left and the Bucs inbounding under their own basket, Jones dished the ball in to fellow sophomore Isiah Brown (Miami), who tossed the ball back to Jones for the game winner. ... The Bucs’ defensive efforts were impressive, especially holding the league’s leading scorer Adnan Hodzic to two points in the first half and a total of 13 for the game. Hodzic entered the game averaging 21.5 points, while his Lipscomb team began the night averaging 80.6 points a contest ... A layup from Lipscomb’s Josh Slater made it 67-66 with 1:47 left in the game. It was the first lead for the Bisons since the 5:24 mark of the first half, but the Bucs regained the lead on a layup by Hubbard with 50 seconds left, only to have Slater hit a pair of free throws with 20.9 second left to make it 69-68 ... That set up Jones.
Summary: One year ago, the ETSU men’s basketball team managed to solve the riddle of Belmont with two wins in three meetings. In the first matchup of the 2009-10 season between the two perennial Atlantic Sun Conference contenders, the confusion returned for the Buccaneers. ... Belmont sank 14 3-pointers, shot a blistering 51.9 percent from 3-point range, and connected on an equally impressive 55.1 percent from the field as the Bruins dropped the Bucs 100-89 Saturday afternoon inside the Curb Event Center. Belmont’s 100 points was the most scored by an ETSU opponent all season. The previous high was 85 points against Arkansas and UAB ... While ETSU scored a season high 67 second half points, the first half was another Belmont nightmare for the Bucs, whose trapping zone defense was shredded for eight 3-pointers by the Bruins in the first 20 minutes of play. In all, Belmont shot 53.3 percent from beyond the arc, 52.4 percent from the field, and built a lead of as many as 23 points before going to the halftime break, up 44-22.
Summary: Senior guard Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) hit a 30-foot 3-point basket with just under three minutes left in the game, sparking the ETSU offense and helping the Buccaneers surge to a 72-57 win over Campbell in Atlantic Sun Conference men’s basketball action Wednesday night at the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center ... Prior to Davis’ shot, the Bucs had looked on as the first-place Camels took an 18-point second half deficit and whittled away to make it 51-47 with 3:33 left in the contest. However, Davis’ shot was followed by back-to-back 3-pointers from junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) and the Bucs never let the Camels’ surge overtake them. ... After the intermission, ETSU built its lead to as many as 18 points at 40-22 with 17:17 left in the contest. But Campbell responded with a methodical attack that outscored the Bucs 25-11 over the next 14 minutes to make it 51-47 with 3:33 left. Then Davis responded with his heroics ... The Bucs shot 59 percent from the floor for the game and 50 percent from 3-point range. Campbell did force 20 ETSU turnovers, but the Bucs won the battle of the boards 33-26. ETSU’s defense held the Camels to just 39 percent shooting for the game.

Summary: Lipscomb guard Josh Slater scored a career-high 35 points and fellow guard Jordan Burgason hit a jumper with four seconds left in overtime to give the Bisons a hard fought 85-84 overtime victory over the ETSU men’s basketball team in Atlantic Sun Conference action Saturday afternoon at the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center ... Slater and Burgason, who pitched in 13 points, were joined in double figures by forward Adnan Hodzic, who posted a double-double with 22 points and 12 rebounds. The Bisons’ win avenged the Bucs’ victory over Lipscomb just over a week ago, when ETSU guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) hit a last second 3-pointer in regulation to lift the Bucs to a 71-69 win in Nashville ... The Bucs led for most of the game, though they never led by more than nine points. However, that largest lead of the contest came with just 6:17 left in the game. The Bucs built that lead thanks to an 8-2 offensive spurt that was capped by an unlikely 3-pointer from 6-foot-8 freshman forward Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) which made it 67-58 in favor of the Bucs. However, that lead was short-lived, as Lipscomb answered with a 12-0 run of its own over the next two minutes to take a 70-67 lead with 4:09 left in the contest.
Summary: Despite a 16-2 run that pulled the ETSU men’s basketball team to within two points in the final two minutes, freshman guard Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) missed a dunk that would have tied the game and the Belmont Bruins used the momentum shift of that moment to pull away for a 74-67 win in Atlantic Sun Conference action inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center ... A crowd of 4,137 fans looked on as the Bruins surged ahead to a 63-47 advantage with 6:23 left in the game. However, the Bucs used a frantic pace and fullcourt defense to force the issue in the final minutes, going on an offensive run that ultimately led to Cooley with the ball in his hands going to the basket. ... In the second half, the Bruins kept converting on the offensive end as the Bucs struggled to find their comfort zone in the halfcourt offense. The result was a Belmont lead that grew to as many as 17 points when an Ian Clark 3-pointer found the bottom of the net with 7:08 left in the game. ... However, the Bucs rallied thanks to a 3-pointer from Cooley, five straight points from sophomore forward Isiah Brown (Miami), four straight free throws from junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston), and four final points from Davis on a pair of free throws and a layup.
Summary: Overcoming a 10-minute offensive drought to start the game, the ETSU men’s basketball team employed its pressure defense to wake up from the lull and snap a two-game losing streak with a 56-47 win over Florida Gulf Coast in Atlantic Sun Conference play at Alico Arena ... The Bucs (12-12 overall, 8-5 A-Sun) fell behind 10-1 and did not score its first field goal until the 10:16 mark of the first half. However, the team turned it around in time, getting strong offensive nights from a pair of Florida natives, as sophomore forward Isiah Brown (Miami) posted a game high 17 points and seven rebounds, and sophomore guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) added seven points, three assists and four steals in 26 minutes of play. ... In the second half the Bucs built their largest lead of the game so far at 31-28, but the Eagles came right back to retake the advantage 32-31 on a pair of free throws from Eddie Murray with 15:01 left in the game. FGCU tied it at 36-36 on a pair of baskets by Hunter Miller, but from there Brown scored nine of the Bucs next 20 points as ETSU outscored the Eagles 20-11 the rest of the way for the win ... The Bucs only had two players in double figures, with Brown being joined by junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) with 10 points.

Summary: Sophomore forward Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) collected a careerhigh 15 rebounds and scored 14 points on the way to his fourth double-double performance of the season, as the ETSU men’s basketball team won its third straight game by defeating Kennesaw State in Atlantic Sun Conference action ... Brown also dished out four assists, grabbed four steals and blocked three shots in what was arguably the best performance of his collegiate career. Meanwhile, junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) posted a game-high 23 points, while fellow junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) added 13 points in the winning effort ... After falling behind 2-0 early on, the Bucs went on an early 17-3 run thanks to a 3-point barrage from Tubbs and Williams.

Kennesaw tried to cut into that lead in the final minutes before the intermission, but ultimately trailed 37-20 at the break. ... In the second half, the Owls did rally and cut the lead to 12 at 41-29, but a quick 8-0 spurt by the Bucs made it 49-29 and from there ETSU never looked back.
Summary: Going 25-of-25 at the free throw line before eventually finishing the game with a 33-of-40 clip at the charity stripe, the Mercer Bears took advantage of the ETSU men’s basketball team’s fouling woes on Sunday afternoon, dropping the Buccaneers 82-77 in Atlantic Sun Conference action at the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center ... Trailing 72-68 with just under three minutes left in the game, the Bucs missed out on their chance to pull closer by going 1-of-4 at the foul line. From there, Mercer responded by going 8-of-13 at the line to keep the Bucs from rallying ... It was a game of runs in the first half, as the Bucs went on a 7-0 stretch to make it 17-12 in favor of ETSU with 11:34 left in the half. However, from there ETSU did not score for six minutes of game time and Mercer took that opportunity to go on a 15-0 run and led 27-17 with 6:09 left before the intermission. The Bucs finally responded and outscored the Bears 17-10 the rest of the way to make it 37-34 at the break. ... In the second half, the Bears led by as many as 12 points at 56-44 at the 13:42 mark.

Ward (Marietta, Ga.), who despite not scoring a point in the contest still grabbed 12 rebounds, and managed to stop the Spartans’ 7-foot center Nick Schneiders on the offensive end. Prior to Ward being inserted into the game, Shneiders had scored 16 first-half points, and was ultimately held to just 22 for the game. ... Early in the game, the Bucs had literally no answer for the Spartans’ offense. Schneiders scored basically at will, and from the outside Upstate hit on 5-of-9 from 3-point range to build a large lead.
Summary: Forcing North Florida into 19 turnovers and outscoring the Ospreys 23-7 off those miscues, the ETSU men’s basketball team’s play on the defensive end proved critical as the Buccaneers enjoyed a 61-46 victory in Atlantic Sun Conference action Thursday night at the UNF Arena. ... While the Bucs held UNF to just 30 percent shooting for the game and swiped 10 steals, ETSU got a teamhigh 14 points from freshman guard Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) in the victory. In addition, ETSU got 10 points apiece from guards Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) and Micah Williams (Manchester), as the Bucs’ bench outscored the Ospreys’ subs, 28-12. ... The Bucs managed to win despite shooting just 43.5 percent (10-of-23) from the free throw line, but ETSU did hit on 42 percent from the field. UNF held a 46-36 edge on the boards, but the Ospreys were just 2-of-21 from beyond the 3-point arc. ... Leading 30-19 at the break, the Bucs kept the defensive pressure on the Ospreys early and used multiple UNF turnovers to build their lead to as many as 16 at 39-23 with 16:19 left in the game. UNF managed to cut that advantage to nine points midway through the second half, but that would be as close as the Ospreys would get.

Summary: Building a 19-point lead with only seven minutes left in the game, the ETSU men’s basketball team watched the Jacksonville Dolphins battle back to pull to within one point with less than a minute remaining. However, JU’s Ben Smith missed a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer to give ETSU a 64-62 victory in Atlantic Sun Conference action Saturday afternoon at the Veterans Memorial ... Jacksonville fell on its home floor despite outscoring the Bucs 22-5 over the final seven minutes of the game. The Bucs (17-15 overall, 13-7 A-Sun) got a double-double from sophomore forward Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.), who scored 15 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, while junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) added 15 points and junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) netted 12. ... The ETSU advantage got to 19 at 59-40 with 7:45 remaining in the game, but JU responded with a 22-4 run over the next seven minutes to make it 61-60 with 45 seconds left. ... At that point, however, a missed 3-pointer by Tubbs with 10 seconds left was rebounded by Williams, who was fouled by JU’s Travis Cohn. With 8.2 seconds left, Williams hit one of two foul shots to make it 64-62, but Smith’s 3-pointer missed as time expired.
Summary: Freshman forward J.C. Ward (Marietta, Ga.) sank a critical jump shot, blocked an attempted score and pulled down an important defensive rebound in the final seconds, as the No. 5-seeded ETSU men’s basketball team rallied from a 15-point first-half deficit to take a hard-fought 69-64 win over No. 8-seeded Kennesaw State in the semifinals of the 2010 General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament at the University Center on the campus of Mercer University. ... The Buccaneers, who are the defending A-Sun Tournament champions, led the game 63-62 with 59 seconds left when Ward sank his 18-foot jumper to make it 65-62, and he later grabbed a missed foul shot by the Owls to help seal the win. Junior guards Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) and Micah Williams (Manchester) then combined to hit four straight free throws down the stretch, helping send the Bucs to their second straight A-Sun championship game. ... Along with Ward’s play down the stretch, Williams returned from his career-best 32-point effort in Thursday’s quarterfinal win to score a team-high 20 points against the Owls. In addition, junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) pitched in 18 points, while freshman Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) had 11.
Game #35 Box Score Kentucky 100, ETSU 71 March 18, 2010 -- New Orleans
Summary: Junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) chose the perfect time to play the game of his life. ... Scoring a career-high 32 points and setting a personal best with nine made field goals, Williams powered the No. 5-seeded ETSU men’s basketball team to a second half rally and a 72-64 victory over No. 4-seeded Campbell in the quarterfinals of the 2010 General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament Thursday afternoon at the University Center on the campus of Mercer University ... Campbell, which was one of four teams in the A-Sun to share the regular season title, led throughout the game before the Bucs finally took the lead at 34-33 with 13:49 left. ETSU did not relinquish the lead the rest of the way. ... It indeed worked, as the Bucs took a 25-21 halftime deficit and scored 51 points after the break. Defensively, it was Bartow’s decision to leave the Bucs’ man-to-man and go to a zone defense midway through the second half that finally put the brakes on the Campbell offense. ... Along with Williams’ effort – which included a 9-of-14 clip from the field, a 4-of-6 mark from 3-point range and a perfect 10-of-10 showing from the foul line – the Bucs also got 18 points and eight rebounds from junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston).

Summary: A 2009-10 season that began with the tragic death of rising sophomore Seth Coy (Washington, Ind.) in a car accident ended in celebration, as the ETSU men’s basketball team earned its second straight trip to the NCAA Tournament by virtue of a 72-66 win over host Mercer in the finals of the 2010 General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament at the University Center. ... In a game that featured four lead changes and four ties, the Buccaneers (20-14) never led by more than seven points in the second half, but made plays down the stretch to get the win. Among those plays were a timely 3-pointer from junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) with just over a minute to play that made it a 65-61 game, a drawn charge by freshman forward J.C. Ward (Marietta, Ga.) on Mercer’s next possession with 59 seconds left, and a 9-of-12 effort from the foul line over the final minute. ... With the win, the Bucs will make the program’s ninth trip all-time to the NCAAs, which includes four trips to the dance over the last eight years. And the Bucs also enjoy their third A-Sun title in four seasons. ... The Bucs placed three players on the all-tournament squad, led by tournament MVP Micah Williams.
Summary: Giving up a season-high 54 points in the first half and facing a team that was hitting on all cylinders offensively, the 16th-seeded ETSU men’s basketball team had no answers for No. 1 seed Kentucky Thursday night in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at the New Orleans Arena ... The Wildcats, considered by many to be the most talented team in the tournament, certainly looked and played like a team destined to win a national championship en route to a 100-71 victory over the Buccaneers. It was the largest deficit in ETSU’s nine trips to March Madness ... Kentucky (33-2) definitely shot the ball much better than the Bucs had expected, making a season-high 15 3-pointers, shooting 52 percent from the field, and 46 percent from beyond the arc. In addition, the Wildcats posted an impressive 27 assists on 31 made field goals ... Individually, the Cats were led by guard Eric Bledsoe, who netted a game-high 29 points and was 8-of-9 from 3-point range. Meanwhile, forward Patrick Patterson posted 22 and guard John Wall had 17.

Conference USA will serve as the event’s sponsoring conference. The inaugural field comprises Appalachian State, Colorado State, East Tennessee State, Ole Miss, Northeastern, Saint Louis, Southern Miss and Texas State. Seven of those teams reached the 2009-10 postseason, including ETSU in the NCAA Tournament. Ole Miss advanced to the National Invitation Tournament’s final four, while Northeastern also played in the NIT. Colorado State and Saint Louis played in the College Basketball Invitational. Appalachian State and Southern Miss played in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament.
