Gold Home Uni's = Nasty Beatdown

UNCG 50 - Princeton 65

UNCG wore their gold uniforms on Sunday and the result was similar to the East Carolina game. The guys came out lifeless and played with no energy. The defense was poor and they couldn't hit shots. Also, they wore the same gold uniforms against ECU.

Positives
- Brandon Evans --- Brandon was basically the entire offense for the Spartans. When it appeared UNCG had never seen a zone before, Evans would drive to the basket and make something happen.
- Zooperstars --- Yes, that's right. The Spartans brought so little excitement to the court that the other highlight was the fake animals dancing to N' Sync.

Negatives
- Defense --- Princeton shot 50% and got any kind of shot they wanted, whenever they wanted.
- Shooting --- UNCG shot 38% from the field, but just 14.3% (2-14) from 3 point range. It really feels like UNCG has missed every big 3 point attempt they've tried at home this year.

That's all I've got. There is not another home game until after Christmas. That should be long enough for me to re-charge and get excited about going to coliseum all over again. Hopefully the Spartans can go and get a win (or two actually) on the road between now and then.

Im glad that im not the only one thats dissappointed. That last game sucked all the energy and excitement out of me. Im certainly glad the next two games are away because it would be a struggle for me to work up the drive to go to another home game right now.

P.s. I like how you tagged it as crap-tastic! ha

You left the "y" off of they. Love the blog!

I thought "crap-tastic" was a prefect word (spellcheck disagrees that it's a word) to describe my feelings. I really would just like to see us make one really big 3 pointer at home. It seems like every super important one we shoot is not not even close. Not sure if it's the building or nerves or what.

David ... I fixed it. Really didn't proof the post very well at all. My vision was still a little blurry after watching that game.

Thanks for reading the blog !!!
