It's starting to take shape now. CSU, WU, & UNCA will be the ones challenging us for 2-5. Any losses by these teams are great. CCU is obviously the team we are gunning for #1. PC, VMI, HPU will be 6-8. GW & Raddy 9-10.

Games Sat

CSU plays WIN
UNCA plays CCU

So two of the 4 teams around us are definitely getting another L.

Believing LU Basketball is on the verge of something great since 1991. The Cubs won a World Series so why not LU to the Sweet Sixteen?!

Sorry, I was reading the schedule wrong. Those are the matchups for next week. Still, things start to get cleared up fast...

I haven't taken the time to go back and look, but I think this is the best start we've ever had to BSC play. Obviously 5-0 was the best, but I think 5-1, 6-1, etc. are all the best. I wonder what's the latest we've gone into conference play with only 1 or 2 losses?

Without searching through the old schedules, I think you are right manson. It seems to me that the years we had our best records in conference we had lost at least 2 by this point and finished strong. I can't remember ever being 6-1.

Realist is being his usual self:

Lu is a paper tiger winning close games and getting every break in the book. They will start losing and they won't be a factor when it matters in the tournament. UNCA I could see being a factor.

According to what I found, LU has never finished the first month of the year with fewer than two conference losses, and the latest the second conference loss came was January 24, 1998 against Charleston Southern

I'm convinced the username Realist over here is supposed to irony. I'm sure of it. There are 2 teams that we haven't played yet and we only have 1 loss. Things are set up so we do have a tougher 2nd half but only 1 loss so far is pretty hard to explain away as a paper tiger when you get past 4 games or so.

He also said that having Holmes and Holloway in the game last night wouldn't have made much of a difference. Their 2 best players. Having their 2 best players in the line up wouldn't have made a difference. What a riot.

But we've gotten "every break in the book." He explains away our wins over PC and WU by saying Coleman got in ticky tack foul trouble and WU wasn't at full strength. Then we got lucky against GW, and UNCA wasn't at full strength.

That's true, but pretty much irrelevant. That was RD's interum year, which is why I double checked this because I knew we weren't that good. We finished 4-6 in a 6 team BSC that year. The conference season started late because there were so few games. The loss to CSU on 1/24 only made us 2-2. Bottom line is we have never had a start this good.

CCU wins 60-42. Man PC is bad w/o Coleman. Too bad we don't play @PC until the last game of the year. Maybe by then they will just be playing out the string since they won't have anything to play for.

WU 59
CSU 62

I would love to see Realist's rebuttal to his teams downward spiral. I just love reading their message board; some of their fans are pretty funny- they really think that Winthrop is a big-time program.

Just couldn't make it over the hump late....I'm not too worried, we have 5 of the last 7 in conference at home. Quite obvious at this point that freshman Luke Davis will be a special player and he, along with the lanky freshman Byron, will be the core that Holtmann rebuilds the program around the next year or two....

Yeah, man we suck. Feels like 08-09 again. Don't think our guys are getting the message that Coach is putting out there. I believe in our guys but if we don't learn how to defend for we're gonna be a 5 seed. I'm no expert but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once

I think this weekend has dispelled any hopes that Coastal is going to lay down and die because they lost Holmes. Looking at the standings though, it's encouraging to see that they have only played 2 road games so far, which is the fewest in the league. Personally, I think we need to beat them in Conway to get the #1 seed, but I do believe they will lose at least one more. Most likely at CSU or Asheville.
