Joining Gaines in double figures were Xavier Moon (17) and Anthony Elechi (10), but 11 different Eagles scored against the Saints (21-13). Morehead led by one point (44-43) at the half, led by as many as eight points in the second half, and Head Coach Sean Woods’ team picked up their first postseason win since 2011.

MSU is idle until Monday, March 21st, when they play the winner of Wednesday’s game between Duquesne and Omaha. The Eagles’ win gives the OVC three, 20-win teams.

Done like only you can @Frank_Cusumano. So perfect. Respectful. Hopeful. Personal. You've always been the best. @DanRolfes, you are in our prayers still today. Thanks for sharing.

As we said the 'closed' transfer portal keeps growing. Paperwork delays and/or no regard for deadlines. Over 2K in the portal now. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that. Just saying before you think your program won't have more players leaving, give it a minute to see

BTW, despite the portal being 'closed' you'll still hear about players entering it because sometimes paperwork is slow AND all they have to do is sue to be able to enter later.

Admittedly I am no recruiting expert, but I'm seeing these reports about which coaches have been crushing the portal. We'll know who did what when we see them play, but no one has been more active than @TSUTigersMBB's @coachpenny1. 6 D1's among the 9 he's signed.
