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.

At East Tennessee State University, the opportunity to play basketball 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 through visits to 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.”

Whether visible on an I-26 billboard, plastered on a yard sign in a neighbor’s yard, heard during a 30-second radio advertisement, or in a direct mail piece coming to an alumnus’ mailbox, the ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has begun a systematic rollout of its new campaign to build spirit in ETSU athletics. Wear. Live. Think. Dream. BLUE -- The slogan for the new campaign will represent a unifying and singular statement to be a mantra for current student-athletes, fans, administrators and alumni. Developed by the department’s external relations staff, the campaign began with a new billboard centrally located on I-26 in the heart of Johnson City. The campaign continued with a 26-page Fan Blue Book that arrived at the homes of 30,000 ETSU alumni throughout Northeast Tennessee and the entire Southeastern United States during the months of August and September. “It is our hope that this campaign will inform our supporters of the successes we are enjoying in this department, while also inspiring them and others to join the Buccaneer Athletic Scholarship Association, buy season tickets, visit our web site, wear their ETSU logo and colors with pride, and simply feel a spirited connection to our program,” said ETSU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dave Mullins. “We believe the 30,000 Fan Blue Books give an overall synopsis of what we are doing to promote season ticket sales for all our sports, how BASA works to support our department, and how successful we have been on the field of play and in the classroom. “The other elements of the campaign – the billboards, radio and TV spots, newspaper ads, and web site links – are designed to brand our logo and the ETSU athletic image throughout the area.” Fans wishing to learn more about the campaign can do so by visiting ETSUBucs.com and clicking on the Wear. Live. Think. Dream. BLUE. banner and clicking on the Fan Book link. More information and promotional opportunities regarding the campaign will be released via ETSUBucs.com in the near future.

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 Memorial Center, better known as the Mini-Dome. The Dome has been the home of Buccaneer basketball for the past 31 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 in the Dome in 2007-08. 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 MiniDome 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.

ETSU student-athletes spend hundreds of hours each year in the capable hands of Buccaneer strength and conditioning coach Lee Morrow. Morrow and the Buc athletics administration are doing their best to ensure that those hours are spent in a first-class facility. The Buccaneers have the benefit of one of the finest weightrooms in the area. The 7,200-square-foot facility, which is one of the largest in the southeast, received a $200,000 renovation in the late 1990s. The facility was redesigned aesthetically and new equipment, including customized York plates, customized free weight equipment and Hammer-Strength Machines, were added to the facility. The weight room is located on the second floor of the Memorial Center overlooking the South end of the Dome, just up the stairs from the Jerry Robertson Athletic Medicine Center. With more than 25 years experience, Morrow implements and plans strength and conditioning programs for the 16-sport ETSU athletic program and works nearly 200 student-athletes. Now in his 24th season at ETSU, Morrow has earned a reputation as one of the most knowledgeable strength and conditioning coaches in the nation. In fact, in 2005, the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association named Morrow a Master Strength and Conditioning Coach, the highest of honors in the profession. Eight of his athletes have earned Gatorade/National Strength Coaches Association All-America Strength Team accolades. The award is presented to athletes who achieve excellence as a direct result of work in the weightroom. Morrow came to the Buccaneer program from Milligan College where he served as head track and cross country coach and assistant basketball coach. He is married to the former Lisa Hartsell of Greeneville, Tenn., and they have three children.

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 Talking Title in 2008-09 NCAA Tournament Appearances . . . 1968, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004

A program that has enjoyed seven trips all-time to the NCAA Tournament and was ranked in the Top 30 percent nationally by ESPN.com’s “Prestige” Ranking earlier this year, the ETSU men’s basketball team enters the 200809 season with redemption, a championship, and an eighth trip to the NCAA postseason as its goals. The Buccaneers, who finished last season 19-13 overall and 11-5 in Atlantic Sun Conference play, ended the season tied for third in league action and advanced to the semifinals of the A-Sun Championships at Lipscomb University in Nashville. The Bucs return eight players from last year’s squad, including the team’s top two scorers and only All A-Sun picks, and will add a talented recruiting class to their ranks as they prepare to retake the top spot in the league. Senior shooting guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) returns for his final season in the blue and gold, having led the Bucs in scoring during both the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons. A year ago, Pigram averaged a team-best 15.8 points per game while also finishing sixth in the A-Sun with 3.4 assists per contest. Having scored 1,445 points in his career, Pigram stands seventh on ETSU’s all-time

scoring list and will look to move up that ladder throughout the 2008-09 campaign. Meanwhile, other returners include forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), who ended the year second on the team with 14.6 points per contest, junior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.), who finished the year fourth on the team with 4.7 rebounds a contest, and senior guard Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.), who started 17 games at the point guard spot a year ago. In addition to those four starters from a year ago, sophomore forward Micah Williams (Manchester, Tenn.), senior forward Greg Hamlin (Flint, Mich.), and sophomore forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) also return after having provided valuable minutes last season. As for the road ahead, the Bucs will open their season against a talented field in the Charleston Classic, facing off with Atlantic 10 foe Temple in the season opener on Nov. 14 and then playing two more games in the tournament. The Bucs will return home for one game before heading on a five-game road swing that

includes trips to Missouri Valley foe Bradley (Nov. 29), Conference USA opponent Marshall (Dec. 2) and former Southern Conference rival Appalachian State (Dec. 13). The Bucs will open league play Dec. 5 at Mercer and will finally return home to take on hated in-state foe Chattanooga on Dec. 17. The team will open A-Sun play in earnest beginning in January, with home meetings against Lipscomb (Jan. 17), Belmont (Jan. 19) and Kennesaw State (Feb. 26) highlighting the slate.

Junior Mike Smith

With the departure of four-year starter Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) on the inside, the Bucs’ biggest question marks coming into the season will be in the post. Tiggs and Hamlin return from a year ago, but while Tiggs was a major contributor, Hamlin’s flashes of brilliance were rare because his time was limited due to injury. This leaves Hubbard, redshirt freshman Isiah Brown (Miami), and true freshmen J.C. Ward (Marietta, Ga.) and Seth Coy (Montgomery, Ind.) to battle out for playing time. While Ward is 6-6, Brown stands 6-8, and Coy is an impressive 6-11, Hubbard seems the odd player out at 6-4. However, during the preseason Canada trip, Hubbard twice posted double-doubles and showed a willingness to bang around with the big men inside. If the Bucs can find an adequate scoring and defensive asset in the paint to go along with the quality

the other shooting guard slot and point guard. Having lost the sharpshooting touch of 1,000-point scorer and 2008 graduate Travis Strong (Memphis), the team will look to others for some firepower from outside. Williams or Smith could fit that role after having put up respectable numbers from beyond the arc a year ago, while incoming freshman Jarvis Jones (Memphis) may look to replace the points scored by his fellow Memphis native Strong. Jones’ spot-on shooting during the Bucs’ preseason trip to Canada was impressive and left the coaches looking to get him the ball on offense. Meanwhile, at the point, Davis also played well during the Canada trip, while highly decorated incoming freshman Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) may get a shot at playing time early and often after playing well in preseason workouts. The 6-6 Sollazzo brings uncharacteristic size to the point position, and showed throughout his prep playing days the ability to distribute the basketball. Senior Kevin Tiggs

Projected Starters: Despite the loss of starting forwards Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) and Kenyona Swader (Smyrna), as well as 1,000point scorer Travis Strong (Memphis), the Bucs return three players who were starters for much of the season in 2007-08 ... Pigram, Tiggs and Davis all started at times last season, with Davis having the fewest starts with 17 ... Tiggs started all 32 games, while Pigram started 27 ... The small forward position and center position were left open this year with the departure of Reed and Swader, but Smith seems ready to fill in at the small forward slot, while Hamlin, Brown, Coy and Hubbard will battle for the center spot ... While Davis started at point much of the year, Sollazzo enters with an impressive resume and a good shot at battling for time at the point.

Anticipated Strengths: Pigram and Tiggs give the Bucs two of the most explosive scorers in the Atlantic Sun ... In addition, the Bucs continue to deploy an athletic batch of players that give them the ability to defend in fullcourt much of the game ... With Pigram, Smith and Williams, the team still also enjoys a solid group of 3point shooters. Anticipated Weaknesses: With only Hamlin returning as a true inside player with court experience, the Bucs will need the freshman class to step up ... The point guard spot is also a concern, with Davis the only returning experienced player at that position and Sollazzo beginning his freshman campaign. All-America Candidates: Pigram brings the most talent and skill to the Bucs’ roster and is likely the most capable of making a run at All-American ... He was an honorable mention All-American in 2006-07 ... Tiggs has the capability as well. All-Conference Candidates: Pigram, Tiggs and Smith all have the potential to make a run at postseason honors in 2008-09 ... All three have been major contributors to the Bucs.

Having given up a school record 295 3-pointers a year ago, the defensive end may be where the key to success or failure will reside for the Bucs in 2007-08. Opponents shot 35 percent from beyond the arc a year ago, and ETSU must cut down on those numbers in 200809 to reach its goals. On offense, scorers are present up and down the roster, but finding a point guard to consistently distribute the basketball may be the difference. Getting through the early season schedule – with nine of the first 12 games away from Memorial Center – will be a major task for the team and key to building confidence heading into the meat of the A-Sun schedule.

Murry Bartow Head Coach 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 wasted little time making a place for himself in the traditionrich 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 (95-61). He is just five wins shy of 100 during his time at ETSU, and his teams have averaged 19 wins a year, won the Southern Conference championship in 2004 and the Atlantic Sun Conference title in 2007. 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, 16-2 in Atlantic Sun play to finish as the regular season champions and earn a trip to the National Invitation Tournament. For the second time in four seasons, Bartow was honored by his peers with the A-Sun Coach of the Year award. The 48-year-old Bartow, who was also head coach at the University of Alabama-

ETSU head coach Murry Bartow is joined by his family, including, from left, wife Tammy, and sons Connor, Stephen, Alec.

A 1980 graduate of Birmingham’s W.A. Berry High School, Bartow was an outstanding point guard, earning All-Jefferson County honors and his team’s MVP award as a senior. He played basketball at UAB from 1980-85, and was part of four NCAA Tournament teams, three Sun Belt Conference championship teams and UAB’s 1984 Great Alaska Shootout title team.

Will Bailey begins his sixth season as an assistant coach at East Tennessee State University, joining the Bucs staff after a playing career at UAB and coaching stops at Chicago State and the University of Maine.“Will Bailey has been a great contributor to our staff,” said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. “I know Will very well because I coached him and have worked beside him as a coach. I think he has been a great fit for what we were looking for here at ETSU. We wanted someone who would not only be good with the players on the floor, but also a solid recruiter.” Bailey, a native of Chicago, Ill., played for Bartow while at Alabama-Birmingham from 1995-97 and served as team captain of the 1996-97 squad that reached the NIT. He was selected the team’s best defensive player in 1997, and was UAB’s representative to the Student Athlete Advisory Committee. Beginning his coaching career in 1997-98, Bailey served as a student assistant at UAB, helping guide the Blazers to the 1998 NIT. He then served as a graduate assistant at UAB from 19992001, assisting a team that made the 1999 NCAA Tournament before moving on to Chicago State in 2001-02.

Michael Boyd Assistant Coach Veteran college basketball coach Michael Boyd is set to begin his sixth season at East Tennessee State University, after spending the last five 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.” 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. “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 back-to-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’s recruiting resume boasts NBA standouts such as Glen Rice, Rumeal Robinson, Loy Vaught and Roy Tarpley. 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. For the Bucs, Boyd’s main areas of responsibility include development of post players and recruiting.

Attendance: 12,115 Summary: ETSU junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) scored a team high 30 points, but a late first half rally by Dayton and some lost possessions midway through the second half cost the Buccaneers as the Atlantic 10 Conference’s Flyers protected their home court in a hard-fought 78-74 win over ETSU in the season opener for both schools Saturday afternoon at UD Arena ... The Bucs held a lead of as many as nine points midway through the second half, but 14 first half fouls by ETSU helped Dayton stay close early on and the Flyers 43-31 advantage on the boards – particularly a 17-10 edge on the offensive glass – were too much for the Bucs to overcome ... In the first half, the Bucs rode Pigram’s hot shooting to a lead of as many as nine points with 10 minutes left before the break.

Attendance: 3,755 Summary: Four ETSU players scored in double figures led by a game-high 17 from senior post Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.), as the Buccaneers upended defending Ohio Valley Conference tournament champion Eastern Kentucky in the home opener for ETSU at Memorial Center ... Along with Reed’s 17 points and eight rebounds, the Bucs got 16 points from junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis), 14 from junior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), and 10 from senior forward Kenyona Swader (Smyrna, Tenn.). While the Bucs’ offense flowed with a 58 percent shooting clip from the floor, ETSU was just as impressive on the other end of the floor, holding the Colonels to just 33 percent shooting on the night ... For the game, the Bucs out-rebounded the Colonels 37-27 and collected 16 assists to just 14 turnovers. ETSU forced 15 turnovers by EKU.

The Buccaneers (1-2) led 61-49 with just over 11 minutes left in the game, only to see the Thundering Herd (2-0) battle back to tie the game on guard Darryl Merthie’s layup with just over three seconds left in regulation. In overtime, the two teams traded the lead five times, and the contest was not decided until the final eight seconds when Bucs’ guard Dequan Twilley (Shelbyville) stole a Marshall in-bounds pass and dished the ball to junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis), whose last second 3-pointer rimmed out ... In the overtime, neither team led by more than two points, and the lead changed five times. Twilley’s layup attempt with just over 10 seconds left rimmed out and Marshall got the call on the out-of-bounds, leaving the Bucs needing to grab a steal. Twilley got what the Bucs needed but Pigram’s shot rimmed out.

Attendance: 1,200 Summary: In one of the most fantastic finishes in ETSU basketball history, the Buccaneers scored four points in the final six seconds of overtime and got the game winning basket from junior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) with 1.7 seconds remaining to hand UNC Asheville its first loss of the season ... For the Bucs, the game looked like a repeat story of close losses at Dayton and Marshall earlier this season, as ETSU gave up a large second half lead and ultimately ended up in overtime on the road against a team with all the momentum. But this time fate fell on the Bucs’ side of the coin ... Overtime was a back-and-forth affair as well, but it was the final six seconds that will be long remembered. With ETSU trailing by two at 87-85, the Bucs had possession and put the ball in Davis’ hands to attempt to tie the game with a drive to the basket. Instead, Davis committed an offensive foul and gave the ball back to UNCA. At this point, though, Bulldogs’ forward Vincent James attempted to run the baseline on the inbounds, committing an unforced turnover and giving the ball back to ETSU under its own basket ... ETSU quickly ran an inbounds play to senior Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) who tied the game with five seconds left on a layup. Unbelievably, James then committed his second turnover in just two seconds, throwing the ball off the hands of a teammate and into the waiting arms of Tiggs, who drove to the basket to score the winning bucket with 1.7 remaining.

Attendance: 3,378 Summary: Committing 30 fouls, giving up 31 points at the free throw line and getting out-rebounded 56-33, the ETSU men’s basketball team relinquished a 13-point halftime lead to former Southern Conference rival Chattanooga in a non-conference loss at the Mckenzie Arena ... The Buccaneers, who led 40-27 at the half, could not keep the momentum in the second 20 minutes, as Chattanooga scored 55 points after the break. Overlooked in the loss was a major accomplishment by junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis), who reached the 1,000-point plateau with a basket at the 17:52 mark of the first half. Indeed, the Bucs have been frustrated on the road, losing by four at Dayton in the season opener, by one in overtime at Marshall, and now by four at rival Chattanooga. In all three games, the Bucs have held double digit leads only to see their opponents rally back from the foul line and with offensive rebounds. This game was no different ... Leading by as many as 16 points with just over three minutes left in the first half, ETSU eventually led 40-27 at the break. However, Chattanooga came out in the second half and took advantage of ETSU’s fouling issues.

Attendance: 3,298 Summary: Thanks to a 3-point shooting barrage in the first half and a double-double from junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis), the ETSU men’s basketball team evened its season record to 3-3 with a 98-60 victory over Tennessee-Wesleyan inside the Memorial Center ... While Pigram finished with 14 points and 11 assists on the night, the Buccaneers also got a game-high 21 points from senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis), who matched his career high with five 3-pointers on the night. Two other Bucs reached double figures, as senior guard Kenyona Swader (Smyrna, Tenn.) and freshman wing Micah Williams (Manchester) pitched in 17 and 12, respectively ... In all, the Bucs would shoot 58 percent from the field and a blistering 61 percent from 3-point range, forcing the Bulldogs into 31 turnovers and owning the battle of the boards 41-25. ETSU managed that performance despite juggling its starting lineup for the first time this season and playing Pigram at the point guard spot.

Attendance: 4,080 Summary: After giving up a large second half lead and then losing by one point in overtime earlier this season at Marshall, the ETSU men’s basketball team was faced with what could have been a similar situation in Memorial Center. This time the Bucs didn’t fold ... Watching a 13-point lead dwindle to five with just under a minute left, the Buccaneers made the defensive stops they needed in the final seconds and converted at the foul line to finish with a 79-73 win over Conference USA’s Thundering Herd in front of 4,080 blue clad fans. With the win, ETSU improved to 4-3 on the young season, with Marshall dropping to 4-2 ... Indeed, the Bucs once again rolled on the offensive end of the floor, hitting 54 percent of their shots (27-of-50) and committing just 14 turnovers. While the Bucs still were out-rebounded 38-36 and gave up 16 offensive rebounds, ETSU did cut back on its foul issues, actually going to the line 38 times compared to just 18 trips for the Thundering Herd.

Attendance: 7,887 Summary: Relinquishing a six-point lead midway through the second half, the ETSU men’s basketball team went scoreless in the final 6:52 against Big 12 Conference member Oklahoma State, eventually falling 78-65 in non-conference action at the Gallagher-Iba Arena ... The Bucs (4-4) enjoyed their largest lead of the game at 55-49 on a 3-pointer by junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) with 13:02 left. However, with the score at 65-64 in favor of the Bucs with 6:52 left, Oklahoma State (5-3) went on to score the final 14 points and get the victory. Pigram finished with a game-high 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting, but the Cowboys’ James Anderson powered OSU with a game-high 26 ... The box score looked good for the Bucs in many ways, as ETSU shot 51 percent from the floor and out-rebounded the Cowboys 33-29 ... In the first half, the Buccaneers took an early 6-4 lead, but the Cowboys didn’t let that stand and used a pair of offensive runs to build a lead of as many as 13 points at 28-15 with 10:43 left before the intermission. However, ETSU did not fold and used a 10-0 run of its own to cut the lead to one at 38-37 with just over 1:05 left.

Attendance: 16,508 Summary: The last time ETSU men’s basketball team played at Syracuse they lost by 39; however, when the season was over the Buccaneers were playing in March Madness. ETSU now hopes history repeats itself again, as the Bucs lost to the Orange in front of 16,508 fans inside the Carrier Dome ... Ironically, it was back in the 1988-89 season when ETSU first faced Jim Boeheim’s Syracuse club and the Bucs were defeated 120-81. Back then, Keith “Mister” Jennings led the Buccaneers to an NCAA Tournament appearance against Oklahoma, and this season he is back again as an honorary assistant coach. The Buccaneer faithful now hope the “Mister Magic” rubs off on the current ETSU club, in which the team can be a part of the field of 65 come March ... The Orange saw six of their players score in double figures, including freshman Donte Greene’s career-tying 25-point effort.

Attendance: 5,882 Summary: The ETSU men’s basketball team had something to prove after coming off one of its worst losses in school history last weekend at Syracuse. The Buccaneers quickly answered the challenge with a 76-58 win over SEC challenger Georgia in the first round of the 44th annual Rainbow Classic inside the Stan Sheriff Center ... The victory snapped a two-game skid and the Bucs improved to 5-5 overall; while the Bulldogs fell to 6-2. The win over Georgia was ETSU’s first win over an SEC opponent since the 1991-92 campaign, when the Bucs defeated Tennessee, 87-79 ... The Buccaneers saw three score in double figures with junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) leading the way with a game-high 18 points in 34 minutes of work. Joining Pigram were seniors Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) and Kenyona Swader (Smyrna, Tenn.) as they each pitched in with 14-point efforts. Reed was also two rebounds shy of collecting his fourth career double-double. Georgia’s Jeremy Price paced the Bulldogs with a team-high 10 points ... Joining the trio above was the stellar play of sophomore Blake Mishler (Metamora, Ill.) and junior Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.). Mishler came off the bench and ignited the Bucs with eight points and three rebounds in 18 minutes of action. Davis, who started his first game at ETSU, netted seven points and tied his season-high with six assists.

Attendance: N/R Summary: After knocking off Georgia less than 24 hours ago, the East Tennessee State men’s basketball team was looking to carry its thunder over into a semifinal match-up against a difficult Saint Mary’s team; however, the Gaels cooled off the Bucs by outscoring them 45-28 in the final 20 minutes to claim an 89-65 victory in the 44th annual Rainbow Classic from the Stan Sheriff Center ... ETSU, who was gunning for its first-ever Tiki trophy, fell a game short of the championship and dropped to 5-6. Saint Mary’s, who currently has the second highest RPI in college basketball, improved to 9-1 overall ... The Bucs had three players total double figures in scoring with juniors Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) and Courtney Pigram (Memphis) leading the way with game-high 16-point performances. Travis Strong (Memphis) came off the bench and chipped in with 10. To go along with his 16 points, Tiggs also grabbed seven rebounds. On the other end, ETSU could not stop the balanced scoring attack from the Gaels, as they had six players reach double figures, including Diamon Simpson’s double-double effort with 15 points and 12 rebounds.

Attendance: N/R Summary: The ETSU men’s basketball team came back from a 15-point second half deficit, but were outscored by 14-12 in overtime and lost a heartbreaker, 82-80, to Louisiana Lafayette in the third-place game of the 44th annual Rainbow Classic from the Stan Sheriff Center ... Despite the loss junior Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) tallied his first career double-double, scoring a career-high 27 points and grabbing career-best 10 rebounds. Courtney Pigram (Memphis) and Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) also notched double figures in scoring. Pigram added 17 and Reed netted 14. Louisiana Lafayette finished with four in double figures, with Chris Gradnigo ending with a team-high 21 points on 6-of-8 shooting from beyond the arc ... In a game which saw 14 lead changes and eight ties, the Ragin’ Cajuns won the closely fought battle. The Bucs held a 72-69 lead with 3:19 left in the extra frame, but Lafayette fought back and Randell Daigle’s three-pointer with 19 seconds broke ETSU’s heart, giving Lafayette an 81-77 lead and eventually the victory ... The Ragin’ Cajuns began the game hitting three treys and took an 11-8 lead into the first media timeout with 15:25 on the clock. It was the Pigram and Reed show early as they combined to score the Bucs’ first eight points, posting four apiece. However, that is all Pigram would score for the half as he picked up two fouls in the first six minutes, and his third at the 5:51 mark. Lafayette upped its lead to five, 17-12, but Tiggs decided to take over as he scored nine of the next 13 points for the Bucs.

Attendance: 5017. Summary: The ETSU men’s basketball team held on despite a 14-0 offensive explosion by Appalachian State in the final three minutes to take an important nonconference victory over its former Southern Conference rival at Memorial Center. It was the first meeting between the old foes since the 2004-05 campaign, ETSU’s last in the SoCon ... The crowd of 5,017 got a dramatic end to a game that had been dominated throughout by the Buccaneers. Leading 66-50 with 3:49 left in the game, the Bucs’ defense looked on as the Mountaineers found their shooting touch and connected on four 3-pointers and a pair of free throws to make it 66-64 with just under a minute remaining ... From there, the Bucs went a perfect 6-of-6 from the foul line to ice the game. Senior forward Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) was the story of the game, netting a career high 24 points to go along with 12 rebounds for his fourth career double-double. Meanwhile, sophomore guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) turned in the No. 23 jersey he started wearing this season and returned to his freshman No. 1, responding with a season high 15 points.

Attendance: 4,093. Summary: The ETSU men’s basketball team may have been facing a first year Division I opponent, but USC Upstate was not interested in making anything easy for the Buccaneers ... In the first meeting ever between the schools, ETSU held just a 3-point lead with 10 minutes left in the game, but the Buccaneers were able to overcome one of their worst offensive games of the year to pick up a win in the Atlantic Sun Conference opener for both teams 67-60 at Memorial Center. With the win, ETSU improves to 7-7 on the year, 1-0 in A-Sun play, while USC Upstate drops to 2-13, 0-1 ... Four Bucs reached double figures, led by a game-high 14 points and team-high seven rebounds from senior forward Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.). Along with Reed, sophomore guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) pitched in 13, senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) added 11, and junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) netted 10 ... For USC Upstate, forward Bobby Davis posted a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds, while teammate Jeremy Byrd posted a game-high 14. Luke Payne and Mezie Uzochukwu each added 11 points apiece for the Spartans

Attendance: 3,321. Summary: Senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) scored 13 of his 16 points in the final seven minutes, helping the ETSU men’s basketball team rally from an 11-point deficit in the final 11 minutes to drop Atlantic Sun Conference foe Campbell 74-69 in front of 3,321 inside Memorial Center ... The game saw four ties and six lead changes before a Strong 3-pointer with just under a minute left gave the Bucs a 70-67 lead that they never relinquished. With the win, ETSU improves to 2-0 in ASun play, and moves to 8-7 overall on the year. Meanwhile, the Camels drop to 1-2 in league play and 5-9 overall ... ETSU, which did not lead in the game until the 6:24 mark of the second half when a pair of free throws by sophomore guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) made it 60-58, actually pulled its starting five players in the opening seconds after halftime and completely emptied its bench. With a lineup comprised of two freshmen, a sophomore and two junior college transfers, the Bucs kept in the game and gave their starters a chance to regroup and reenergize ... The strategy worked, as the Bucs used an 18-7 run to take a 51-40 deficit and tie the game at 58-58 with 7:34 remaining. From there, the back and forth battle ended with Strong scoring the final seven points of the game.

Attendance: 3,695. Summary: Poor shooting from the floor for the third straight game finally caught up with the ETSU men’s basketball team, as the Buccaneers were unable to score a single point in the final 5:27 in their game against Gardner-Webb, falling to the Bulldogs in Atlantic Sun Conference action inside Memorial Center ... For the Bucs (8-8, 2-1 A-Sun) it was their first home loss of the season, as they dropped to 6-1 in the Dome. Meanwhile, the Runnin’ Bulldogs improved to 8-10, 2-2 ... In a game they never led and tied only twice in the first half, the Bucs shot just 32 percent from the floor and a dismal 22 percent from beyond the 3-point arc. Even so, ETSU still managed to cut a 10-point halftime deficit to just one point three times in the final seven minutes ... A free throw by junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) made it 70-69 in favor of GW with 5:27 left, but from there the Bucs would not score again, despite making several defensive stops and holding the Runnin’ Bulldogs to just three points the rest of the way ... During the offensive drought, the Bucs would take five 3-pointers and end up making none of those attempts. “We tried hitting the home run when we just needed some touches inside,” Bartow said ... In the first half, Gardner-Webb took an early 5-0 lead and managed to hold off two ETSU runs that tied that game at 18-18 and 22-22. From there, the Runnin’ Bulldogs used a 9-2 run to close out the half and finish up 40-30.

Attendance: 1,596. Summary: Junior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) set a Curb Event Center record with 30 points and the ETSU men’s basketball team shot an impressive 61 percent from the floor, but once again it was the Belmont Bruins that still found a way to beat the Buccaneers ... The Buccaneers (8-9 overall, 2-2 A-Sun) were done in by 12 3-pointers by the Bruins – eight of which came in the second half. In addition, Belmont (11-7, 3-1) grabbed 18 offensive rebounds and turned those into a 25-12 advantage in second half points ... The Bucs fell behind 2-0 but from there never trailed again until 12 minutes left in the game when Belmont went up 58-56 on a lay up by Belmont’s Will Peeples. While ETSU was able to take the lead back a couple of times from there, the Bruins ultimately held an advantage of as many as seven points at 75-68 with 4:58 left ... However, ETSU rallied again, and when Buc sophomore guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) was fouled on a defensive rebound with 13 seconds left, he converted the two free throws to make it 84-83. Belmont’s Andy Wicke was fouled on the inbounds pass and hit his two shots from the charity stripe, and the Bucs’ Courtney Pigram (Memphis) missed his 3-point attempt from the top of the key as time expired ... In the first half, the Buccaneers shot a blistering 63 percent from the floor and got 12 points each from posts Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) and Tiggs, building a lead of as many as 11 points at 38-27 with just over three minutes left in the half.

Attendance: 2,330. Summary: Just when a third straight Atlantic Sun Conference loss seemed eminent and its regular season championship hopes fading, the ETSU men’s basketball team found a way to get it done ... Trailing 73-62 on the road with 6:54 left on the clock inside Lipscomb’s Allen Arena, the Buccaneers rallied to outscore the Bisons 24-8 the rest of the way and take the win ... The frantic comeback was led by a bevy of Bucs, with senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) and Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) scoring a game-high 18 points each ... After trailing much of the game, the Bucs used their fullcourt defense to change the pace of the game. With the score 77-69, ETSU’s efforts produced a 12-0 run sparked by seven points from Pigram, a 3-pointer by Swader and two free throws from Tiggs, building a four-point lead at 81-77 with 3:02 remaining in the game ... As the clock wound down, Lipscomb got a free throw from forward Eddie Ard and a layup by post Brandon Brown to make it 81-80, but Tiggs answered. After missing a jumper from the top of the key, Swader tapped the ball out to Tiggs, who immediately went to the hoop and scored from the block to make it 83-80 with 32 seconds left in the game. From there, Lipscomb’s Adnan Hodzic hit a foul shot with 16 seconds left, but Swader and sophomore Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) hit four straight free throws to ice the game.

Attendance: 6,873 Summary: In a one-point game with 3:16 remaining, the ETSU men’s basketball team got an much-needed 7-0 offensive spurt to build a cushion and ultimately hold on to drop Jacksonville 83-77 in a critical Atlantic Sun Conference battle before 6,873 at Veterans Memorial Arena ... With the win, ETSU (10-9, 4-2) moves to within one game of the Dolphins in the race for the A-Sun regular season championship. Jacksonville (9-9, 5-1) had started the season undefeated ... ETSU held a five point lead at 70-65 with 4:17 left, but the Dolphins used a 4-0 run to make it 70-69 with 3:16 remaining. But from there, the Bucs went on a 7-0 offensive run powered by a layup from senior forward Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.), a 3-pointer from junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) and a pair of free throws from junior guard Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) to build a 77-69 with just 1:09 left in the game ... While Jacksonville managed a couple of 3-pointers of its own, the Dolphins never got closer than four points the rest of the way and ended the contest down six.

Summary: Senior forward Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) scored a game high 19 points, leading a group of Buccaneers that posted double figures as the ETSU men’s basketball team grounded the North Florida Ospreys in Atlantic Sun Conference action at Memorial Center ... In the first half, UNF had the game tied at 7-7, but from there the Bucs went on a 25-9 offensive run to build a 16-point lead at 32-16 with just over five minutes left before the intermission. The Ospreys got to within 13 with 2:47 left, but ultimately a 3-pointer from senior post Reed and four straight from Pigram made it 48-32 at the break ... The Bucs opened the second half where they had left off in the first half, going on a 15-7 run to increase their advantage to 24 points at 63-39. ETSU kept the pressure on with a bevy of 3pointers to ultimately lead by as many as 30 with just over six minutes remaining in the contest ... In all, the Bucs out-rebounded the Ospreys 46-35, while forcing UNF into 18 turnovers on eight steals. In addition, ETSU hit on 80 percent of its foul shots (28-of-35) and shot 43 percent from the field.

Summary: After watching a nine-point lead dwindle to one with just over three minutes left, the ETSU men’s basketball team made enough foul shots and senior Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) drained a clutch 3-pointer in the final minutes as the Buccaneers outlasted Mercer in Atlantic Sun Conference play at Memorial Center ... ETSU was led by junior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), who picked up his third career double-double with a game-high 26 points and 12 rebounds, while senior forward Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) netted a season high 22 points and nine rebounds. Junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) was the only other Buccaneer in double figures, picking up 12 points, seven rebounds and three steals ... ETSU did not relinquish its lead in the second half, but after building a lead of as many as nine points, the Bears offense hit its stride and managed an 8-0 run to make it 76-75 with 3:10 remaining on the clock. From there, Tiggs hit a pair of free throws and Reed sank his 3-pointer from the right wing to build enough of an advantage to hold on for the win ... The Bucs forced Mercer into 16 turnovers on nine steals, and shot 43 percent from the field. Meanwhile, the Bears hit on 41 percent from the field.

Summary: With ETSU holding a comfortable 13-point advantage midway through the first half, this game between the Buccaneers and Atlantic Sun Conference rival Kennesaw State did not have the same intensity of the previous four matches between the two schools. But it did not stay that way ... After the Owls overcame the 13-point deficit to take a 31-29 lead at the halftime break, a fiery second half that featured a couple of minor scuffles, a technical foul, and a stingy ETSU fullcourt defense resulted in a 72-66 ETSU win in front of 3,287 fans at Memorial Center ... The ETSU offense was clicking early in the game, as the Bucs pulled out to a lead of as many as 13 points at 24-11 with just over eight minutes left in the first half. However, from there Kennesaw State went to its 3-point attack, hitting on 7-of-13 from beyond the arc to outscore the Bucs 20-5 the rest of the way and lead 31-29 at the break ... In the second half, the two teams traded baskets early, but the Bucs went to the full court pressure and the result was a 12-0 burst by the Bucs that made it 51-39 with 11:39 left in the game. ETSU held much of that lead for the next four minutes, but KSU rallied with a 6-0 spurt of its own to pull to within three at 59-56 with 5:23 remaining. But that would be as close as Kennesaw State could get as the Bucs hit their foul shots down the stretch to finish with a six-point cushion ... For the game, ETSU got a team high 18 points and eight rebounds from junior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), while senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) and junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) scored 13 and 10, respectively.

Attendance: 1,672. Summary: A night after Belmont opened the door with a win over Jacksonville, the ETSU men’s basketball team sprang to the top of the Atlantic Sun Conference standings with a win over Florida Gulf Coast in the first ever meeting between the schools at Alico Arena ...For the game, five ETSU players reached double figures, with junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) leading the way with a game high 28 points, while junior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) pitched in 19, senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) and senior forward Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) netted 14 each, and sophomore guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) added 10. The Bucs shot 55 percent from the field and 42 percent from beyond the arc, overwhelming the Eagles with their offensive efficiency, while defensively forcing 25 FGCU turnovers on 12 steals ... The offensive onslaught by the Bucs highlighted the first half, as ETSU scored a season best 54 points in the initial 20 minutes and led 54-32 at the break. With the score 16-11 in favor of the Bucs at the 11:53 mark, Swader slammed home a basket on an inbounds pass and ignited a 25-9 run that made it 41-20 with 6:16 left before the intermission. In all, the Bucs shot 65 percent from the field (20-of-31) and 47 percent from beyond the 3-point arc (7-of-15), with Pigram scoring 21 points and Tiggs tossing in 10.

Attendance: 1,751. Summary: In ETSU’s losses this season, the Buccaneers have struggled at long stretches to produce scoring opportunities. That same issue once again cost the Bucs ... Able to score just one field goal in the final 6:08 of Sunday’s game at Stetson, the Buccaneers watched as the Hatters outscored them 16-3 down the stretch to pull off an upset win and temporarily derail ETSU’s regular season title hopes in Atlantic Sun Conference action at the Edmunds Center. The Bucs’ 56 points was the lowest offensive output for the team this season ... The first half was ugly for both teams, with the Bucs having trouble shooting and Stetson having issues simply holding onto the basketball. ETSU hit on just 39 percent of its shots in the first half, and the Bucs were just 2-of-8 from 3-point range. But despite the poor shooting, the Hatters’ offense didn’t capitalize, as the ETSU defensive pressure forced 16 Stetson turnovers and kept the Bucs in the game. Stetson’s largest lead of the half was five, while the Bucs led by as many as three ... In the second half, both teams continued to battle back and forth with several lead changes and neither team holding any more than a four-point lead until the 6:08 mark ... But after sophomore guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) hit a pair of free throws to make it 53-52 in favor of the Bucs, the ETSU offense went in the deep freeze and Stetson would outscore the Bucs 16-3 the rest of the way to pick up the win ... The Hatters out-rebounded the Bucs 41-29 and shot 43 percent from the floor on the night.

Attendance: 4,262. Summary: Guard Shane Dansby scored a career high 28 points to help power Belmont to a 20-point halftime lead and yet another win inside ETSU’s Memorial Center, as the Bruins cruised to an 87-75 Atlantic Sun Conference win over the Buccaneers in front of 4,262 fans on Valentine’s Day evening ... For the Bucs (14-11 overall, 8-4 A-Sun), the loss basically ends their dreams of a regular season championship and marks the first time this season they have dropped back-toback league games ... The first half was another offensive barrage for Belmont, as the Bruins rolled to a 17-4 lead before the second media timeout. While the Bucs cut the lead to 10 at 25-15 with just over six minutes remaining in the half, the Bruins again used a 22-12 run to finish the half up 47-27. In all, Belmont shot 51 percent from the floor and connected on seven 3-pointers, while the Bucs hit on just 32 percent from the floor and 18 percent from beyond the arc ... The Bucs battled in the second half, cutting the lead to 11 at 64-53 on a 3-pointer by junior Courtney Pigram (Memphis) with 12:26 left. However, Belmont hit four 3-pointers from there, stopping the ETSU momentum and pulling back out to an 80-60 advantage with 5:42 left.

Attendance: 4,215. Summary: It was not the usual cast of characters for the ETSU men’s basketball team, but the efforts they provided were enough to get the Buccaneers a much needed victory Saturday afternoon inside Memorial Center ... Senior Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) posted his first career double-double, senior Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) scored a game high 23 points, and redshirt freshman guard Micah Williams (Manchester) came off the bench to score a career high 14 points as the Buccaneers snapped a two-game losing skid and rebounded from a disappointing loss to Belmont with a win over Lipscomb in Atlantic Sun Conference action ... Lipscomb outscored the Bucs 14-4 to open the final 20 minutes and lead by four points at 45-41. From there the two teams had seven lead changes and a pair of ties before the Bucs progressively pulled away to an eight-point edge at 74-66 with 1:53 remaining ... Over the final minutes Lipscomb slowly whittled away at the lead, and even though the Bucs hit their final six free throws, a 3-pointer by Lipscomb’s LaKory Daniels made it 79-78 with just over two seconds remaining. A pair of free throws from senior Travis Strong (Memphis) made it 81-78.

Attendance: 3,118. Summary: In need of a confidence boost, the ETSU men’s basketball team got one during ESPN’s BracketBuster Saturday courtesy of the Ohio Valley Conference’s Tennessee Tech ... The Buccaneers won for just the second time in their last five games, getting a career high six 3-pointers and 20 points from senior Travis Strong (Memphis), while senior Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) posted his second career double-double to lead ETSU to a win over the Golden Eagles in front of 3,118 fans at Memorial Center ... A blowout seemed eminent in the first half, as the Bucs built a lead of as many as 19 points twice and held a 49-30 advantage with 2:37 remaining before the break. However, Tech bounced back with a 7-0 run to close out the half and trail 51-39 at the intermission ... In the second half, the Golden Eagles kept the pressure on in a big way, outscoring the Bucs 26-12 over the opening nine minutes, taking the air out of the Dome and giving Tech a 65-63 lead with 11:02 left in the game. Strong answered the challenge quickly with a 3-pointer that gave the Bucs the advantage back at 66-65, and ETSU would never relinquish the lead again, outscoring Tech 23-8 over the next seven minutes to lead 86-73 with 3:30 remaining in the half ... For the game, Strong was 6-of-12 from beyond the arc and finished with 20 points. He was joined with a team-high 20 by junior Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), while junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) posted 15 points. Swader finished with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Tech got a game-high 22 from Daniel Northern, while Amadi McKenzie netted 17.

Summary: Gardner-Webb guard Grayson Flittner scored a career high 34 points and the Runnin’ Bulldogs outscored the ETSU men’s basketball team 43-22 in the final 12:19 to race away with a 96-70 Atlantic Sun Conference win inside Paul Porter Arena ... Flittner was unbelievable for Gardner-Webb, setting both the single season and single game record for 3-pointers, hitting on 9-of-12 from beyond the arc and 11-of-15 from the field to net his game-high 34 points. But Flittner was not alone, as the Runnin’ Bulldogs shot 57 percent from the field and 58 percent from 3-point range as a team. Guard Thomas Sanders was equally impressive in a double-double effort, scoring 26 points and grabbing 16 rebounds ... The game got off to an ugly start for the Buccaneers, as the team shot just 30 percent from the field and 16 percent from beyond the 3-point arc in the first half. Those numbers obviously led to a quick start for the Runnin’ Bulldogs, who led 19-7 at the 10:35 mark. In all, ETSU would commit 16 turnovers in the first half.

Attendance: 947. Summary: Watching a 12-point halftime lead evaporate in the first four minutes of the second half and trailing 58-53 with 15:38 left in the game, the ETSU men’s basketball team kept its poise, going on to outscore Atlantic Sun Conference foe Campbell 37-16 over the next eight minutes to build a 16-point lead and roll to a 96-87 win over the Camels at Carter Gym ... The Buccaneers, who improved to 17-12 overall, 10-5 in A-Sun play, ruined a special ceremonial night at Campbell (10-17, 5-9), as the Camels played their final game inside historic Carter Gym. The Camels first began playing in Carter during the 1953 season, and will open the new John W. Pope Jr. Convocation Center next season ... In the first half, the Bucs shot 51 percent from the floor and raced out to a lead of as many as 14 points at 31-17 with 7:04 left before the intermission, ultimately leading by 12 48-36 at the break. Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) led the attack, reaching his career high in the first 20 minutes with 11 points on 4-of-4 shooting from the floor and a 3-of-3 effort from the foul line ... The second half was a different story early on, as Campbell came out hot from beyond the arc, outscoring the Bucs 19-5 to open the half and grabbing the lead 55-53. From there, though, junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) scored 13 of his 18 points to power the ETSU comeback. Along with Pigram, the Bucs got a team-high 20 points from senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis), who is now just four points shy of reaching 1,000 for his career.

Attendance: 1,011. Summary: On the same day he eclipsed the 1,000 point mark for his career, senior Travis Strong (Memphis) hit a running layup to force overtime, and junior guard Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) went on to score seven critical points in the extra period to lift the ETSU men’s basketball team to a win over USC Upstate in the regular season finale for both teams at the G.B. Hodge Center ... Davis’ efforts came when the Buccaneers needed it most, as junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) fouled out in the final minutes of regulation after scoring 18 of his team-high 22 points in the second half to rally the Bucs from a nine-point halftime deficit. Along with Davis, junior forward Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) added five of his 15 points in the overtime period to pace the Bucs’ offensive effort ... The first half was all Upstate, as the Spartans shot 44 percent from 3-point range and took advantage of ETSU’s 14 turnovers to lead by as many as 18 points 43-25 with 2:06 left before the intermission. At that point, the Bucs did manage a small rally, getting four points off the bench from Tommy Hubbard (Boston) and scoring the final nine points of the half to trail 43-34 at the break ... Also in the first half, Strong – who entered the game four points shy of 1,000 for his career – hit a 3-pointer in the early going and later eclipsed that special mark with a 3-pointer from the left wing at the 9:10 mark of the first half. Strong finished with 16 points on the night, including the overtime-forcing layup with 17 seconds remaining in regulation.

Attendance: 2,181. Summary: When the ETSU men’s basketball team needed them most, seniors Travis Strong, Kenyona Swader, and Andrew Reed made the plays needed to capture a quarterfinal win in the 2008 General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament ... Strong broke a 71-71 tie thanks to a midrange jumper with 1:46 left in the game, Reed blocked two Lipscomb shot attempts in the last minute, and Swader hit three critical free throws to pick up the win ... For the game, Strong finished with a team high 16 points, Swader finished with 14 rebounds and 11 points to post his third career double-double, and both junior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) and sophomore guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) finished with 10 points apiece ... At the end, the Bisons quickly answered over the next four minutes with a 9-0 run to make it 62-59 before a pair of free throws from Swader made it 64-59 and stopped the scoreless streak. But Lipscomb methodically battled back, and finally tied the game 71-71 with a layup and free throw by Jimmy Oden.

Attendance: 1,948. Summary: What may be one of the most controversial foul calls in Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament history highlighted a nightmarish final seven minutes for the ETSU men’s basketball team, as the Buccaneers watched a 10-point advantage vanish in the final minutes Friday night of a loss to rival Belmont ... Leading 63-53 with 6:22 remaining in the game, Belmont went on an 11-2 run to make it 65-64 with 1:22 left on the clock. From there, the Bucs and Bruins made defensive stops, but with less than 30 seconds left a mad scramble on the floor ultimately ended with senior Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) being fouled by Belmont’s Andy Wicke with just 17 seconds left. Following the whistle, official Doug Sirmons called a technical foul on Swader ... The end result was Belmont’s Justin Hare hitting a pair of free throws on the technical to give Belmont the lead, and Swader later missed the front end of his one-and-one. ETSU was forced to foul at that point and ultimately took the loss ... The foul call tarnished what was otherwise a great game for Swader, who finished with 17 points and 15 rebounds to post his fourth career double-double.

NCAA Tournament Appearances . . . 1968, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004

ESPN Regional Television has announced the schedule of matchups for the inaugural Charleston Classic, set for Nov. 14-16 at the new Carolina First Center in Charleston, S.C. The ETSU Buccaneers will take on Temple in the first round at 3 p.m. on Friday afternoon, Nov. 14. The event will include 12 games in three days, with six games being broadcast on CSS. The Southern Conference, based in Spartanburg, S.C., will serve as the event’s sponsoring conference. The 2008 Charleston Classic field includes eight teams: College of Charleston, Clemson, East Tennessee State, Hofstra, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, Temple, TCU and Western Michigan. Two of the teams, Clemson and Temple, played in the 2007-08 NCAA Tournament. In the first round of action, beginning Friday, Nov. 14, TCU will take on Western Michigan in the first game to be played at Carolina First Center. Also in the first round, ETSU will face Temple, SIU-Edwardsville will meet College of Charleston, and Hofstra and Clemson will square off. “We’re pleased to have a competitive field and exciting matchups in the inaugural Charleston Classic,” said Pete Derzis, senior vice president and general manager, ESPN Regional Television. “We expect this new event to provide a terrific off-the-court experience for the student-athletes, coaches and staffs while giving fans a great opportunity to watch college basketball in the great destination of Charleston.” Each team will compete in one game per day, advancing through a bracket-tournament format. The two teams that remain undefeated throughout the tournament will face off in a championship match Sunday, Nov. 16, at 4 p.m. ET on CSS. Complete matchups are listed below. “I am very excited about the Charleston Classic opening our new Carolina First Center,” said Bobby Cremins, head coach of College of Charleston. “This will bring college basketball to our beautiful Low Country and downtown Charleston area. Clemson will be the headliner, but there are other exciting teams that should challenge them for the first Charleston Classic championship.” “We are excited to be part of showcasing college basketball in Charleston for the tip-off of the season,” said Clemson head coach Oliver Purnell. “This tournament also gives our fans, of which we have many in the Charleston area, an opportunity to see our team play three straight days to open the season.”

The 1988-89 Bucs began East Tennessee State’s fouryear streak of NCAA Tournament bids. The unknown Bucs fell one point short (72-71) of shocking the collegiate basketball world with an upset of Oklahoma on March 16, 1989. A win by the Bucs would have been the first in Tournament history by a No. 16 seed over a No. 1 seed. ETSU controlled the first half, leading by eight at the break. The Bucs and Sooners battled throughout the second half, but when point guard Keith “Mr.” Jennings fouled out, ETSU’s fate was sealed. Oklahoma center Stacey King used a superman performance -- 28 points, 10 rebounds -- to assure his team of advancing. ETSU center Greg Dennis had 20 points and 15 rebounds.

Georgia Tech didn’t blink in blitzing the Bucs, 99-83, in the NCAA Tournament’s first round on March 15, 1990. The Ramblin’ Wreck shot 60.9 percent from the field and 53.8 from behind the arc. Lethal Weapon 3 led the way. Shooting guard Dennis Scott torched the Bucs for 36 points on 14-of22 shooting, point guard Kenny Anderson scored 21 points and dished 10 assists for the Yellow Jackets, and three-guard Brian Oliver dropped 13 points. Five Buc players scored in double figures, led by Calvin Talford’s and Keith Jennings’ 17 points. Greg Dennis scored 16 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Georgia Tech advanced to the Final Four that season before losing.

Another upset bid fell short, as the Bucs dropped a heartbreaking 76-73 decision to Iowa in the 1991 NCAA Tournament’s first round, on March 14, 1991. The Bucs led by four, 37-33, at halftime but could not sustain the lead. ETSU’s guards ­Rodney English and Keith “Mister” Jennings kept ETSU in the game with outstanding perimeter play. English scored a game-high 25 points on 11-of-17 shooting and also grabbed a team-high 10 boards. Jennings scored 11 points and added 13 assists. In one of the most incredible individual seasons ever, Jennings was truly a star. He led the team in scoring (20.1), 3pt. field goal percentage (59.2), free throw percentage (89.5) and assists (9.1 apg).

After two near misses, the Bucs shocked the nation with an 87-80 win against Arizona, on March 20, 1992. The 14th-seed led the entire game and never let the No. 3-seed Wildcats get comfortable. Rodney English netted 21 points to lead the charge. He also led the team with five assists. Calvin Talford (15), Jason Niblett (13) and Trazel Silvers (12) also scored in double figures. The Bucs outscored the Wildcats by 27 points from behind the arc. In the second round, ETSU fought hard but fell to the Fab Five Michigan squad. The Wolverines would advance to the NCAA Championship Game, while the Bucs would become one of the NCAA’s upset specialists.

Tiny Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) and East Tennessee State nearly won one for the little guys. Josh Howard and his athletic Wake Forest teammates made sure bigger was barely better. Howard, the Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year, made two key free throws and finished with 12 points to help the second-seeded Demon Deacons survive a major scare from No. 15 seed ETSU in a 76-73 victory, on March 21, 2003. Along with Smith’s 22-point effort that kept the Bucs in the game most of the way, junior Zakee Wadood scored 20 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, picked up four assists and seven steals in the losing effort.

Another 3-pointer came between East Tennessee State and a first-round upset. Tony Bobbitt hit a 3 from the left corner with 16.1 seconds left on March 19, 2004, rallying fourth-seeded Cincinnati to an 80-77 comeback victory over a team that keeps scaring the best teams in America in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Flashy point guard Tim Smith scored 26 points, but missed a driving layup on his last try. The Buccaneers (27-6) then missed two follow-up shots before Jason Maxiell got the rebound to clinch it. East Tennessee State, the 13th seed in the Atlanta Regional this year, nearly pulled off a surprise last year, falling by three points to Wake Forest.

86

Trazel Silvers (21) scored 12 points and senior Marty Story (34) finished his career at ETSU in style, as the Bucs upended No. 4 seed Arizona in the first round of the NCAAs.

Freshman phenom Tim Smith capped a stunning season at ETSU, scoring 25 points and hitting a final-minute 3-pointer to tie No. 2 seed Wake Forest and give the Demon Deacons a significant scare.

Sophomore point guard Tim Smith once again made the most of the spotlight at the NCAAs, impressing the national television audience and giving Cincinnati fans cardiac problems with a near-upset of the Bearcats.

Women’s Basketball The ETSU women’s basketball team went to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history after posting a program-tying 21-win campaign. The Lady Bucs stormed through conference play with an impressive 14-2 record and followed that up with three straight wins in the Atlantic Sun Tournament to receive the league’s automatic bid to the Big Dance. Along the way Michele DeVault and Siarre Evans received First Team All-Atlantic Sun accolades; head coach Karen Kemp was tabbed Coach of the Year for the second time in her career. Five Lady Buccaneer players were named A-Sun All-Academic, including TaRonda Wiles – who also was named to the All-Tournament Team. Joining Wiles on the tournament team were DeVault and Evans as well as Tournament MVP Latisha Belcher. As a team, ETSU ranked in the top 20 nationally in scoring offense (14th), steals per game (18th) and assists per game (19th); DeVault ranked 12th in three-point field-goal percentage and 23rd in three-point field goals per game. DeVault also set a new all-time record with 239 treys made for her career.

Men’s Tennis After winning the Atlantic Sun regular season and conference tournament for the second straight season, the ETSU men’s tennis team earned its sixth trip to the NCAA tournament. This time around the No. 7th regionally ranked Bucs added to their program’s storied history by advancing to the second round of the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history, defeating Notre Dame, 4-2, in Columbis, Ohio. Individually, junior Enrique Olivares earned All-America honors after becoming only the second Buccaneer to advance to the NCAA Round of 16, earning a final ITA ranking of eighth regionally.

Men’s Golf For the first time in school history, men’s golf became the only program at ETSU to ever compete in the NCAA Championships 20 times. Under the direction of head coach Fred Warren, the team built on its record number of NCAA appearances, while once again finishing with a trio of Top 20 national team rankings. In addition, senior Gareth Shaw was named PING All-American, marking the second straight year he has earned that honor.

Women’s Golf Women’s golf made history in 2007-08 by capturing the program’s first-ever conference title and earning its first trip to the NCAA Championships. The Bucs picked the perfect place to win their first Atlantic Sun Conference championship, doing so on their home course at The Ridges Golf and Country Club in Jonesborough. In addition, the Bucs watched sophomore Laura Jansone capture the A-Sun individual title as well, becoming the first woman to ever win a conference individual championship.

Paul Hoilman First baseman Paul Hoilman was selected to the “Louisville Slugger” Freshman All-America Team. The Johnson City native was the first freshman ETSU baseball player to receive national recognition in the school’s history. Hoilman was also named to the Atlantic Sun AllFreshman Team after an outstanding freshman campaign finishing tenth in the conference in batting average (.353), fifth in the conference in doubles (18), tied for eighth in home runs (9), ninth in RBIs, ninth in slugging (.598), ninth in total bases (110) and seventh in on-base percentage (.442).

Enrique Olivares Olya Batsula Olya Batsula was chosen by the Atlantic Sun Conference to be the A-Sun nominee for the 18th Annual NCAA Woman of the Year Award. Batsula was awarded the ITA/Cissie Leary Award for Sportsmanship in the Southeast Division, which went to the women’s tennis player who displays inspiring dedication and commitment to her team, and which has enhanced the team’s performance and exemplified the spirit of college tennis. Batsula, a fourtime all conference selection, compiled a 22-11 overall record, was 15-6 in dual play, and 11-0 in conference play in her senior season. The Belarus native ended her career with 179 victories and is third on the ETSU all-time wins list. Batsula was ranked nationally throughout her career at ETSU and helped the Bucs reach the A-Sun finals this past year.

2008-2009 Media Guide

Current senior Enrique Olivares earned All-America honors after becoming only the second Buccaneer to advance to the NCAA Round of 16, earning a final ITA ranking of eighth regionally.

Shaw earned his second straight Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar award, becoming the first-ever ETSU player to be named to that list two years in a row. Shaw, who enjoyed his own successes on the course with three All-America selections, an Atlantic Sun individual championship, and a conference player of the year award, reached several impressive criteria to receive the award.

Jenny Knox Shattering school records was a common theme among the 2007-08 Buccaneer track /field team. Jenny Knox set a new time in the 100m, which resulted in her second consecutive appearance in the NCAA Mideast Regional. Knox also helped guide the women’s relay team to the Regional, and ended her career nationally ranked in the 100m as she finished the season 47th.

Yevgeniya Stupak Yevgeniya Stupak finished the 2007 season with an individual regional ranking of 14th, becoming the first-ever ETSU women’s tennis player to be ranked in singles and doubles regionally at the same time. After claiming 23 victories, including wins over No. 39 Yvette Hyndman of Georgia and No. 17 Amanda Taylor of Vanderbilt, Stupak became the first Lady Buc to qualify for the NCAA singles championship last May.
