It would be nice if you guys could pull this one out and give us a 2 game lead in conference (assuming we beat HP)

Realist...WE beat High Point...granted it was on our home court, but all the students were on break. While we all know what assuming down (Makes a ____ out of u and me), I think its safe to make the assumption that yall will beat High Point. I hope that we can beat Birmingham-Southern, as it would be nice to get another win in the conference.

This one tonight is going to be a real challenge. I have a feeling by the time the tourney rolls around that BSC will be a contender for the #2 seed.

We're down by seven 5 minutes into second half. We're as flat as a pancake.

Damien simply can't match up with their big men.

This is one of the more disappointing efforts of the season in the second half.

Down by ten with 7:00 to go. Somebody besides LB and Anthony need to hit a shot.

Dwayne Paul (19 on night) hits the jumper to push the BSC lead to 6 with 2:15 to go.

That hurt. Hubbard just fouled out and Paul gets the hoop & harm to push the lead to 53-45 with 1:37 to go.

Paul pushes the lead to 9.
Time to start hitting some big shots.

1:07 to go and we're down by nine. We've had our chances but we simply can't knock down the shots when need them.

I'm here, but we're down by nine, and Little Jerry says fans are heading toward the rink.

Thankfully Anthony was hitting in the second half because nobody else was.
On the positive side, both Anthony & Justin have gotten plenty of playing time and are showing flashes.
