LU's top six hopes are simple. Win and look for either Winthrop or VMI to lose. If the Keydets and Eagles both win, LU can't get into the top six, even with a win over Campbell.

thx LANG. They'll get it figured out, then we'll leave the conf and the whole thing will go into the crapper again. Only I won't care at that point.

PS: you looked very handsome on TV.

I can't compare, I've never been in the Vines Center. I've been in Winthrop Coliseum and the Mills Center. Kimmel blows both of them away IMHO, but our SID told me last night that they didn't build a media room into it, and they are having to take a large storage area and turn it into one for the tournament games. Oops.

Also, thanks to Lang for the clarification of the seeding scenarios, but it makes me feel like this:

crazy all the movement with a win or loss by one team

seeds go from a 5 to an 8 just like that.
I haven't seen this much 'movement' since I ate that 2nd bran muffin!
Or nachos at the Vines Center? :brightidea

True. First two rounds in Asheville. You could have the final in the small confines at CCU or CSU if Asheville loses.

Or Campbell or WU or LU or VMI or HPU

So ESPN can get their cameras into a high school gym, but not the CSU SuperBucDome? :shock:

Lovely...probably would have to use McAlister Field House over at The Citadel then.

2) Win the Big South Tournamnet
3) Win the first round of NCAA Tournamnet vs. Kentucky

so if that holds, and we win tonite: we clinch #5 and are off until the 2nd round when we face CSU? I like that.

yep, and we take the short one hour drive over to Rock Hill to play Winthrop....LU loses tonight, we head up your way Monday.

UNCA 46 WU 36 with 10:56 left, UNCA has gone cold in 2nd so far, but still has solid lead....

UNCA 58-46 with 4:55 remaining. It's looking like the scenario is playing out for use to get the 5 seed if we pull off another win tonight.

Remarkable turnaround. I'm not sure anyone has ever lost the 1st 6 Big South Conference games and finished in the top 5! What a season. I'm not working on Monday night and the Flames aren't playing so I will be in Lexington for the 7-10 matchup then heading down to Asheville for the Quarters and Semi's. The only downer is that now Liberty will have to Play Asheville on their home court in the Semi Finals if they are able to defeat the Bucs of Chuck South.

Thanks for the vote of confidence for the HP/GW winner sir! 8)

Actually, we did have a 39-36 lead at UNCA with 13 minutes left Thursday, and Barbour can explode for points when he is on. Maybe the winner Monday can at least make UNCA work for the win Wednesday.

Haha sorry about that 8) But if Asheville loses to an 8/9 on their home court it would be a Big South 1st I believe. I may have to look that one up. You guys have your hands full with HPU though 94.
