So far....

VMI trailing a bad Northern Colorado team by 10 with 8 to play, and using that stupid loot and shoot. UNC is shooting over 70% from the field.

High Point is trailing Charlotte by 5 in a really sloppy game. HP being outrebounded badly. Charlotte is something like 5-25 from the line.

UNCA pulls out a win against cellar dwellar socon Furman by 3.

Coastal destroys North Greenville.

Radford blown out by Michigan.

I thought it would be a better first night.

Sounds like my first pick em ever is doing well. I did have Furman over UNCA though. I have very little faith in anybody in this conference.

Not a Big South score, but former Big South member UNC Greensboro opened their season with a win over Georgia Tech tonight. Nice win for the Spartans.

I picked HP over Charlotte, and of course they choked down the stretch, I should have known better.

I also picked VMI over UNC. I thought Duggar might have wised up and not gone with the loot and shoot, guess not.

I got UNCA over Furman. Kenny doesn't let me down.

Big win for WU, knocking off Illinois Chicago by 15, who just dominated 2nd in preseason voting MVC Bradley a week ago.

Georgia Tech is next.

Congrats on the win, WEF...
...I am of the opinion that any D-I non-conference win for a Big South school is a good win. Medic is (dare I say), a little short-sighted in that regard.

Sat league team games...

UNCA 83 Campbell 71. The Bulldogs improve to 4-0 on the year and were led by Kenny George's TRIPLE DOUBLE (20-12-10 blocks).

CSU 90 UVA-Wise 60. Moore with 18 and Carter wtih 16 lead the Bucs over the Highland Cavaliers.

Gardner-Webb 93 Radford 83.

Gardner-Webb obviously didn't expect to beat Kentucky and end up in NYC because they scheduled Radford for today. They ended up playing 3 nights in a row. Is Kenny George the real deal? UNCA is usually 0-10 this time of year due to their tough non-conference schedule. I have to look at their wins but they could be a surprise if KG is proven to be effective.

evidently Kenny has greatly improved his conditioning- his minutes have reportedly gone up this year; however- the season is young.

but you're right- if that kid can play 20-30 minutes a game he could be real trouble

Having a healthy KJ (or is it Kay Jay)

Garland is a big plus for them too. He was one of the better guards in the conference a few years ago before getting hit with the injury bug.

SCAR...you hit on the key to UNCA's season...INJURIES. They have been injury-riddled the last several years. Add a healthy team to Eddie's final year on his contract...and a much less demanding schedule...and perhaps UNCA can rejoin the upper echelon teams (OK...well maybe 3rd or 4th this year).

Huge win, Realist, for WU. I guess you guys really can win without Old Purple, I mean Marshall.

Yes, and Eric Gordon, (son of former Flame by the same name) scored 21, to follow up the 33 he scored in his debut against Chattanooga.
