A Sea Of Red

ROCK HILL, S.C. -- As the final tenths of seconds drained away, the last-gasp shot from Winthrop's Antwon Harris glanced off the rim, falling into the waiting hands of High Point's star forward Arizona Reid. What happened next was a dark blur -- the deafening home-crowd cheers for High Point stifled the sound of the final buzzer as hundreds of students in "black out" T-shirts poured out onto the floor, tackling and mobbing the winning team at midcourt. Reid flung the ball high into the air, tore off his jersey in celebration and held it aloft, his face frozen in an overjoyed scream.

This wasn't the Big South title game during Championship Week, some kind of Xbox simulation or any kind of drill. High Point's nail-biting, court-storming, 62-61 win over Winthrop, which broke the Eagles' 22-game conference winning streak and was only the Panthers' second win in the head-to-head series since 1999, occurred Saturday evening. And it was only the first conference game of the season.

Peele's quote about the UNCA/LU game was completely and 100% false.

Peele is almost as detestable as Marshall, but in a different kind of way.

I'll never be able to get out of my mind the picture of Peele chasing the officials off the court and down the tunnel at the Vines when he was coach at UNCG.
