A Sea Of Red

I know we are no longer there, but I thought I would note that Charleston Southern just knocked off our longtime nemesis Winthrop

Who won BSC regular season.

Radford and Campbell tied but Campbell got #1 seed via H2H

Our resident G-Webb guy has been saying their team was talented and has underachieved. Looks like he knew what he was talking about.

I hope G-Webb knocks off Radford.

Looking at the G-Webb/Campbell box score, the thing that stood out to me was that the Bulldogs only put Cleamons on the FT line 3 times. That's not normal for him, and was HUGE for them.

I just saw in Roanoke paper that Radford is hosting BSC championship game. When the Dedmon Center is site for a D1 championship game, the stars are not aligned or something.

They hosted last year too...you know the championship game we lost in last year?

I believe the BSC is using the same format as the ASUN. Every tournament game is played at the court of the higher seed. The Dedmon Center is dated, and I believe it holds 3100. I highly doubt it will be filled for the game, but there will be a lot more fans there than if the game were held at some neutral site with an arena that met your stringent standards.

Gardner-Webb beat Radford 76-65 and will be going to the dance for the first time.

Congrats to Gardner Webb on their first tourney appearance. Happy for them.

Congrats to our old friend 94 wherever you are!

Congrats to G-Webb on beating Radford .

Big South was a hybrid. The first-round games were at campus sites, the quarters and semis were at the No. 1 seed (Campbell), and the championship game was played at the highest remaining seed after the semis (Radford). Smart way to do it. Still feels like a tournament for a couple of days, but in the end, you want a good crowd for your league's only true ESPN showcase game. Gardner-Webb/Radford in Buies Creek would have drawn flies.

This is probably my favorite of the formats...rewards #1 seed (even though Campbell didn't take advantage of it), has a tournament feel for the quarters/semis, and guarantees a good atmosphere/crowd for the championship game. It is a tough format to plan for (both for fans and for the league)...and one day, a Charleston Southern or Presbyterian may earn the #1 seed, and then what do you do? But so far, that hasn't happened, and it has been fun to attend as a fan.
