First game at UNCA was ugly, 3 of our guards were completely MIA or stayed home over the X-Mas break, DJ banged up his knee at the end of regulation & we shot terribly, 3 of 19 from 3 pt land & 64% from the FT line.. still took the game to OT but lost by 3 in a game that should not have played out that way..

Meanwhile, CSU has only lost 1 game (CCU) at CSU Fieldhouse this year so obviously they are playing well in the friendly & cozy confines there.. Hopefully the guys play with a chip on their shoulders about dropping that game here & get this one back..


Warren, Martin, & Sexton scored 62 of CSU's 77 points last game against UNCA... I would hope our players note that & do something about it!! UNCA outrebounded CSU by 20 (44-24) in the first game- DJ had 15 boards, JW had 10 boards..

Top 5 scorers for CSU..
Roster/Stats (per game)
PLAYER POS PTS REB AST
Jamarco Warren G 16.1 3.1 2.8
Kelvin Martin F 14.0 8.4 2.0
Jeremy Sexton G 12.8 2.1 2.0
Kenny Mitchell F 7.0 4.8 0.7
Tom Tankelewicz F 5.5 1.4 0.8

Need to get this game & even the series at 1-1...

We owe these guys one. I have a church league game at 8:15 so unfortunately won't be able to catch the second half. Need to go ahead and get this win and then just hope to get lucky in Conway. I'll take 1-1 in a New York minute.

Their backcourt is good, but it isn't like we should go play a junk defense or anything. We just need to sack up and play defense. We've had some time off and every time we do I feel like we are going to come out flat and shoot 20%. Here's to hoping we don't do that. Winning this game would do wonders for relieving the pressure of the Coastal game. Goose Creek University is a tough out.

Not sure about the "time off".. atypical schedule for us actually with only 3 days off (vs 4 from Sat to Thurs) between games since we played Sunday.. but on the road we certainly can't afford to go cold & shoot poorly..

We've sarted off ok.. Refs are calling this thing tight already 4 fouls for UNCA & 3 for CSU not even 6 mins into the game..

I guess I've had a long week. You're right.

That's quite ok- wasn't sure if I missed something!! I have too.. more snow already tonight here in Avl so this sucks!!

This zone is actually working right now vs CSU.. they're terribly sloppy & turning it over so it's allowed us to get back in this game.. I was worried about the zone with their shooters especially in their place..

Not sure what Chris is thinking sometimes with his passes... make the simple play!!!

Lucky with who they have in foul trouble. A third on Warren before the half would be huge, but he plays well in trouble.

Good to take the lead at the end of the half. This really shouldn't be a close game, but the turnover sprees really killed us.

How about that little last second play drawn up by the coaching staff?? It wasn't a fade screen but we'll take an open look from up top nonetheless.. was it a 2 or 3 will be the question.. Bulldogs up by whatever they determine that shot to be.. 34/35 UNCA, 32 CSU..

My guess is they go with it being a two. Coastal is being GWU by nearly 50.

Yep- I saw that score as well as the VMI beatdown of Presby.. I don't want to think about whether that's good or bad for us quite yet...

That time-out was needed badly, regardless of trying to avoid the tie-up

2nd time tonight that we find ourselves down 8 points.. Bulldogs need to get out of the locker room from halftime... 14-4 run bad guys right now to start the half.. We've been doing a good job of avoiding these scenario's/slow starts.. We need a response!!

We're back to guys trying to jack shots & single handedly get the team back in the game, instead of running some offense..

Settling for threes will not win this game for us.

What exactly are we waiting for to foul & stop the clock??? This game is a wrap & this was a regression for the team & guards..

Does this look familiar??
8 for 18 from the line
2 of 14 from 3 pt land
21 TO's
CSU outrebounding us as well

Well, the streak had to end at some point. The stupid beach trip bites us again.

Real lack of concentration by the team as a whole, especially on defense. No hustle. The guard duo looked hungover and chris didn't even show up, maybe he's still in the bar. I don't really know the exact minutes that DJ played during the home stand, but he seemed to be playing a lot more this game. Maybe his presence is disjointing the offense in his first game back with big minutes? Shooting under 0.500 from the foul line is just unacceptable.

Not really the kind of momentum you want going into the 1st place Big South team who just won by 46.

Didn't get to watch the last 30 minutes. Sounds like I made a good call. Ohhhhh well. Here's to pulling off an upset tomorrow afternoon.
