Perchcast: Just Three Fans Talking Ball feat. Christian May
After another banner night in Trask Coliseum, Christian May returns to the show to share his perspective as a retired hooper
The guys break down the comfortable victory over Mount Olive, starting with the slow offensive start and why that probably shouldn’t be a concern. Gavin Walsh is back with relentless effort, CJ Luster is back with an absurd jumper, and Patrick Wessler never left.
There was much to like about what UNCW did on Monday night, but plenty of room for improvement, too.
There’s also a breakdown of Saturday’s matchup with ECU in Greenville, why the Pirates are better this season, and a familiar foe that the Seahawks will need to slow down.
Finally, Christian takes us through the roller coaster offseason of suffering a back injury, joining various NCAA lawsuits, and nearly playing in Finland before ultimately deciding to call it career and move to Wilmington.
May also opens up about the back injury, overseas opportunity and eligibility uncertainty that shaped his decision to step away from playing. It’s a candid conversation about basketball, moving forward and why Wilmington still feels like home.
A few other points we covered:
- What it meant to see Luster, Walsh and Jahnathan Lamothe back on the floor.
- Why playing through Big Pat can create better opportunities for UNCW’s shooters.
- Defensive communication, transition responsibilities, rebounding and taking care of the ball.
- ECU’s revamped roster, the challenge in Greenville and May’s keys to a Seahawks win.
- Christian’s thoughts on how the 2022 eligibility cases are being handled and why it’s incredibly frustrating.
